Here we go again ...

While driving the wife to work today in beautiful topdown weather all of a 
sudden  the ammeter stopped indicating charge and the red light came on. I 
suspect its the regulator (control box) since I'm getting no output to the 
yellow wires, unless I push the points together manually, then the light goes 
out and the ammeter goes neg. all the way. (I'm in a neg grd situation.) I 
have no meters to check anything as recommended in all the manuals. My 
tendency is to replace one thing at a time. Must I remove the generator to 
take to a shop to test it, should I drive it to the shop to test, can it be 
tested in the car if the regulator's not working?  What could make the 
control box go bad all of a sudden? Or maybe it's the generator? Maybe it's 
both?
What to do first?
