MNGB said: (quoted from post at 14:31:02 10/29/09) Hi Pete, a solid state regulator would be outstanding, I installed on on my 12 VDC generator on the airplane, but they are not cheap (not bad when compared to airplane parts) about $135.00. It sure made a big difference though makes a generator just about like and alternater with the exception that the genny still won't charge at low R's. But the voltage is rock solid steady ammeter needle is steady and no radio noise. JMOR is there a place that will convert the reg to solid state? And how much? GB in MN

GB, I happened across this & remembered several postings from the past involving people such as yourself, regarding the topic of "wish thee was some way to repair these old original regulators". This might be a possibility. I can not vouch for anything here, as I have no 1st hand experience in this story. However, it looks like the poster from a Corvette forum had success with the builder.



It Works !!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got the solid state voltage regulator conversion back from New England for my generator-based '61 and it works !

Seems I burnt up an integrated circuit polarizing the generator (which proved unnecessary). Can't tell any difference from my old mechanical regulator even with the lights on (at high beam) and blowing the horn.

Goodbye contact points !

Anybody else that wants this done can contact:

This fella did a good job on the hardware/electronics side in addition to great communication when I had a problem.

Be smarter than I was - send him the correct Delco-Remey V/R to convert and not an aftermarket replacement like I did.

This from Bob the guy that did the work. I just asked if he was still doing them.

Hello JMOR,

Yes I am still doing the conversion of regulators to solid-state. The cost of conversion is $80.00 plus $6.50 toward return shipping. I need a regulator carcass to convert, your desired polarity, the rated output of the generator in your car. your return shipping address and your check. Your email address is nice to have as I will keep you informed of return shipping etc.

If this is something you would like to do ship your regulator to me at:-

Wilton Auto Electric, LLC.

10 Stoney Brook Drive

Wilton, NH. 03086

I look forward to doing a conversion for you. Also I need the voltage (6 or 12) of your car. Sincerely,

Bob



What I have included is all I know about this, so everybody is on his own.

The Ford unit from DC is this unit.

Again, no first hand experience with it, yet. How it works is cloaked in mystery, but I do know one person who has one and says it really works.

Would like for Mr. Regan of Fun Projects to let me have one on the cheap to test (maybe even give back) so that I could check it out & be able to vouch for it on these tractor forums. This one is for single terminal generators with no external connection to the Fields.
