MG TD TF 1500 - Solid State Voltage Regulators

The Voltage Regulator on my TF needs some attention. I thought this might be a good time to switch to a solid state one, if such exists.

I recall there was a chap making a conversion, but that he has since passed.

Is there any source for such an item today?

Sorry, Gord, but your memory of Bob Jeffers goes way back. The more recent solid state regulators were ( past tense) provided by Dave Ahrendt as Vintage Mecha-Tronics. I acquired their last one in 2022. It's going fine. I swap it out now and then when I install my Dynamator.

From what I can see on line, there is one in the UK and one in the US.

Here is the US company.

Bruce,

Not convinced that those Regulators are solid state. Couldn't find anything that said so.

Gord … there is additional information in the box (left side) under the heading details. Seems clear to me.

The US company is working with Classic Dynam & Regulator Conversion in the UK. CDRC developed a good electronic regulator, and apparently is assisting classic regulator.

Dave Ahrent in N Carolina used to make some really nice ones, but I believe he does not do it any more
