Yes it's a model XH Wico magneto or some may refer to it as model X. Points and condenser rotor are available at most reputable auto supply stores. The Wico XH is still made brand new today. Starter should be fine unless someone got it too hot while on 12V frying it. Sometimes worn out bendix drives on a old 6V ran on 12V doesn't let it work too well and it may just need rebuilding at a local electric shop that has aftermarket parts for it.
