If most likely stuck VR doesn't solve it;
wiring looks a bit toasted, may need to check for insulation losses. Short is best way I know to pull full amps.
If the gen is gone(brushes) that's another one to check. When it cuts to gen, it may not be putting out and draws battery further. When gen is off, it's OK. Eventually the battery dies. Lights will be dim.
I like a installed volt meter in my generator cars so you can better determine what's going on.
It appears the "ammeter" is functioning but there's some other that need checked as well to rule out its not a gauge issue.
