I agree with the posts that recommend cleaning grounds and reg points. To clean the grounds outside of the reg you can use the standard wire brush routine. This may be a bit overfastidious to some but, I learned from an electrical engineer, to clean points on a regulator or electric motor, use crocus cloth - a fine clay abrasive that will leave your points as smooth as they should be. Also, electrical contact cleaner is good for removing corrosion on points - the best deal I've found on it is a spray paint sized can of CRC from Home Depot. I would imagine your tests mimic this flow chart but check out Bob Melville's Gererator/Regulator Troubleshooting Flow Chart. I don't have the link handy but do a google search for "Bob Melville's Wiring Diagrams" and follow the Epson Photo Center link.
