Congrats Alan, Hmmmmmmmmm a short ?? Seems like that was cussed n discussed by Jim n Bob n myself somewhere before lol. I would disagree with the advice and that it "didnt matter" whether or not you still used the light switch Field resistor if you converted to a full fledged 3 terminal Voltage Regulator, as its job is to automatically and better control and regulate the rate of charge versus guessing and manually doing so when you set the light switch for low or high charge rates. The VR is supposed to control the net effective field ground via resistance and modulation, so if you threw in additional resistance it seems it would upset the dynamics and parameters of how the VR was designed to function. If the genny happened to be a 3 brush type I (if converted to a VR) would have it set for the max rate of charge and NOT use the light switch field resistor.

Thanks for the feedback and again, glad to hear shes gennin.
