Thanks, Fred and a Happy New Year to you, too. There is one thing you can do when you have time and that is to test your VRP-4002E regulator in the following manner. 1) attach the positive pole of your 6V battery to the terminal labeled Battery on the regulator 2) using a voltmeter, touch the ground terminal on the regulator with the voltmeter positive lead and the voltmeter negative lead to the positive pole of the battery and see if there is a current draw. If there is, then that would mean, to me that is, that there is a direct connection between the terminal that leads to the battery and ground, which I don't think should be. If there is no current flow, then I would like to know how much you would want for that VRP-4002E regulator.
Thanks again for the wishes. Take care.


Am not following what you are trying to do. Isn't the 37 positive ground and with the service manual saying reverse polarity can damage the Auto lite regulator are you sure this is where you want to connect the positive battery terminal? With the regulator just sitting there should be no connection thru the cut out contact so probably no damage but just asking.
