And I'll tell you you are dead wrong. And it has to do with demand. 6 volt is dead. Hasn't been used on a new piece of equipment or vehicle sense the very early 60's. Lot of battery chargers out there don't even have a setting for 6 volt anymore. Last one I bought (200 plus dollars) on wheels with a 200 amp boost? No 6 volt setting. And that was 10 years ago. Look at the prices of 6 volt batteries? They have gone up too. Way out of proportion. They have become a specialty item. Regulators in general have a bad reputation today. They don't sell enough to make it worth building a decent one. OK I know how to polarize a generator? So what? No one cares and no one is impressed. Same thing with knowing how to change a set of points. No one is impressed and no one cares. While you are messing around with that stuff that young guy is writing a computer program. I'm more impressed with that. Heck NASA taught a chimp how to fly a rocket with a few lemon drops. Give that chimp a dwell meter or feeler gauge, a set of points and a pack of lifesavers.
What's going to kill 6 volt altogether is total lack of demand. Why use a high maintenance generator system when one can easily convert to a low maintenance alternator system that can use a cheaper battery too? The day the last 6 volt battery comes off the line? I'll dance in the streets!
I like my old tractors. But I want to work them, not work on them. I have other things to do with my time. Fishing, hunting, shooting, reloading, boating ECT.
