On a replacement C35A dynamo that I bought some years ago, which was sold as "new old stock", the dynamo end bush gave out. Whoever it was that built the dynamo had pressed the end bush into the housing with the lubrication hole offset so no oil could get to it. No wonder it gave out. A replacement bush did the trick, but it's worth noting that they DO need some oil from time to time. On some dynamos that means prising out the plug. There should be a felt pad inside to hold the lubricant.
