Buckeye voltage regulator

Post by Tlitwin » Fri Jan 07, 2022 2:31 pm

I know it does not look like the original ones but has anyone used this? They are very reasonable.

Those are USED (groan) and tested reverse current cutouts and NOT voltage regulators.

I believe he was referring to the "plug-in" regulator farther down the page Ron.

I believe the regulator on the last line of parts for sale plugs into the rear of a Hitachi alternator.

Buckeye is one of the few places to buy that regulator farther down the page, as it is only used on early 6 Volt alternators.

They are easily destroyed by a battery charger.

Langs did have them a few years ago and may still have some.
