Two cents: use an electronic solid state voltage regulator. REGITAR #C524, WELLS #VR706, STD #VR101, BWD #R280, FILKO #VR369HD are some brands. Price them separately as the price used to vary a lot. The Standard 101 was about $23 last I recall from RockAuto. I think the Wells is chrome but there is a way to swap covers if original appearance is needed.
Thanks,
