[Mg-t] TD Charging Problem

[S Allen]

Hi,


It's been a while since I've been on the list, and I've missed it.


As some of you may remember, I have a '52 TD.


The battery is no longer charging.  At 3500rpm the charge light is on,
the
ammeter is on zero, and when I put a voltmeter on the battery it's
at 12.4
volts.


The generator was re-built by a local armature shop five years ago.


I had the Reg converted to solid state four years ago by a gentleman on my
list.


Two questions:


1.  How do I use the voltmeter to test if the Gen or the Reg is the problem?


2.  Does anyone remember who does the OEM to solid state conversions? 
I
believe he was somewhere up in NH or Vermont and I can't find the
receipt...


Any help appreciated, and it's good to be back,


Scott Allen
