Turns out that I have a battery coming. And I like the charging options posted by Katy. Hadn't looked into 6v maintainers - I'm a believer, have them on other 12v cars.
The car gets started a few times a year only, been in the family since '48
Too bad, I wonder what the dirty 30's folks did about compromising the generator when they couldn't afford a battery and so relied on hand cranking...... their old batterys were likely not as bad as the one I have.
Don't wanna hurt the gen that I had rebuilt 30 years ago.

Thanks for the ideas all.
