In the Corvette world, the solution to the currently available poor quality voltage regulators is to install a solid state unit in the original case. I did this several years ago and have not had a whisper of trouble since. I would think the same solution would work for those of you with 12 volt systems. I don't know if a viable 6 volt solid state unit exists; I think I'll poke around a couple of places. If such a unit is available, it's a simple conversion.
