I have built several over the years, and more recently gave some parts
to Sergio Dimarmo, who built one and is/was running in his series V.
You still out there Sergio?
The replacement regulator is a solid state type, which uses an LM317
3 resistors, a zener diode and a capacitor.
The regulator runs at 10v, but could be easily adjusted to calibrate
an error in a guage.
The regulator works well, doesnt have a temperature error, and runs
essesntially forever, unlike the mechanical regulator.
Schematic available to any interested individual.

Umm, lets put this to bed already.
The banter becomes more insulting than the infraction.
