Thanks for the info and while the regulator works a bit differently from the later models, if the voltage is actually 10-11 volts the same items might be worth checking.

Just like the later regulators, there is a resistor that is placed in and out of the circuit to regulate current to the field to control the voltage. If there is a misadjustment or field wire is shorted or if the contacts are stuck closed the resistor will not be able to be placed in the circuit. In effect just like grounding the field wire to test operation on later units, the generator will be unregulated.

I see the field fuse but have no idea how sensitive the fuse might be as far as blowing if the field is shorted or as a means to prevent high output. If it is as reliable as the main TL fuse on the 55-6 models, some of us know how that works. In many cases damage is done before the fuse even thinks about blowing so maybe the field fuse is the same as far as protecting output.
