I've posted some questions for help in solving the charging problem on my Super AV vintage 1948 specifically about replacing the voltage regulator which I thought might be the culprit. I checked Steiner Parts website as a member recommended. As it turns out, my machine has a cut out regulator rather than a voltage regulator. I'm not sure if it's good or bad. I want to leave it under that configuration for originality when I have to sell it rather than trying to rewire to go to a voltage regulator. The replacement cutoff requires lights and a three brush generator. I bought a new generator but I don't know if it's two or three brush and neither does the company that I bought it from. It's identical to the old one. It's made in India by Lucas with part# 26045081. The ammeter needle stays in the middle but goes to discharge when I put the lights on. Any idea how many brushes are in these new generators? Am I overlooking something as far as the cutout being bad? How do I test the generator output to make sure it's not bad? Sorry to ask so many questions. Thank you.
