Ever see an old car with one dim headlight. It happens often with 6 volt systems and dampness. Check the main battery cables at both ends for corrosion, paint etc. Since it is all the lights I would suspect the wire from the ammeter to the light switch as well. The tail light comes from a different contact post than the headlights so the switch should be OK but check those connections as well. If the lights were brighter, (I know not BRIGHT), before then it is a common connection to all of them that is bad. I have seen the terminals on the end of the wire go bad so check those too. As far as gen vs alt goes the gen on my 27 Ford T is the original and still works, and I have seen many alternators go bad so I have no preference.
