Happy,
Please disregard my earlier posting.
I was not saying that you "should" hook the Field" terminal to the regulator "batt" terminal.
What I was saying is that the field in the generator has voltage supplied (through the regulator)to it in order to produce the electrical field that is required to make the generator charge.
Since this "field" coil normally has voltage supplied to it, then perhaps by hooking it up wrong, it wasn't damaged.
Normally these old generators are designed to withstand a little over voltage etc.....if the field coils were in good shape and you didn't smell buring wires or see smoke, then you might have lucked out.
Please note that I'm not saying that .....hooking the batt. to the field is correct......or that by doing that in error, that you didn't ruin something.....I'm just saying that the chances are good that you didn't ruin the generator.
