I am using 6-volt incandescent bulbs, not LED bulbs.

A retired auto-electrician friend says the modern flasher units are too "electronic". He suggests I buy an "old-school" flasher unit which works a different way. So can anyone tell me what an "old-school" flasher unit is and how it operates and where I can buy one?
Try running an independent ground wire from the signal stat on the steering column to a good known ground. BAd ground of the switch is issue 99% of the rime,
