How many of us are now wishing we would be have bought the NAPA VR-755 direct replacement while they were still available as recently as just two years ago for about $38?
Your orginal was a OD 21262 and I'm not aware of any direct replacement though you might want to contact Jason at AER for options.
However, your unit did not fully control amperage output as in a more modern unit, you have a 3rd brush generator and output was controlled by the the adjustable brush (screw head on the generator rear). Even with the correct generator control and 3rd brush adjustment, many of us still have the need to drive with the headlights on to prevent overcharging when on extensive day-long drives, just as folks did back in the time.
What is "the $350 unit" is or who makes/offers it? The original O-D unit can often be repaired, unless they are abused they are extremely robust, never had to change or even look at mine in 50 years.
