Default Model A Voltage Regulators - NOW WORKING - Testers needed

I'm looking for a couple of members willing to test a new Model A Positive Ground Voltage Regulator
I'm about to start mass production on. I've been working on & sold a couple hundred of the 6v & 12v Model T
version that is negative ground and those works really, really well.

The Model A version is a redesign of the Model T version for the positive ground Model A. Unlike in the pic
below, it also has a screw on the generator input tab for the generator output wire/screw.



If you help me, you will get a FREE Model A 6v Voltage Regulator.

Here are the params -You MUST be willing to do the following:

- Own a Model A w/ Positive ground. (original wiring)
- Have a 6v original style generator ( no alternators)
- own a decent volt meter. Analog or Digital is fine.
- have a mostly original car w/ no LED bulbs
- live somewhere that you can drive your car NOW. Not Alaska, Not Detroit or N. Dakota.
- be willing to pull up your floor boards, then drive the car and measure the voltages
as the regulator is working. Alligator clips are a must here.
- be comfortable turning a tiny screw on a circuit board to make adjustments as needed.
- send me feedback, call me, talk to me.

I need feedback now. I have orders for several hundred of these and I want to make sure they work on a
variety of cars/situations before I order 250 assembled circuit boards. That's a heavy investment.

Every car is different. Some have incandescent headlights, others have LED. Some have been rewired, others
are all original. Each of these situations affect how voltages are measured at the battery, which is all
that really matters when it comes to the state of charge.

If you're interested, reply to this posting and tell me the following:

1) what year/style car do you have?
2) confirm it has "mostly original wiring"
3) confirm you have all regular light bulbs (NO LEDS).
4) confirm you have a decent volt meter
5) confirm you willing to agree to test and help me and give me feedback NEXT WEEK?
I need this data ASAP

I'll have test regulators I can ship to you now.

Here's a video of it in the car and working

now, I have alligator clips on the battery and can clearly see the voltage it turns on at (~6.3v) and the
fully charged voltage it turns off at (~7.2v). This is what I need you to measure for me. My car has LED
bulbs everywhere and fairly new wiring. So this use case is tested.
