Midget electrical problems

["Bart Schwartz" <bschwartz@dttus.com>]

     Hello all-
     
     I am new to this list as well as to MGs in general.  I am having 
     electrical problems with my "new" 1976 Midget.  I have two problems 
     and I'm not sure if they are related:
     
     1) The red "no charge" indicator light comes on intermittently when 
     I'm driving. At night, the headlights dim when this indicator light 
     comes one.
     
     2) The radio has no memory for stations.  It loses memory every time 
     the car is turned off.
     
     I am a very inexperienced mechanic so I'd appreciate any help that 
     anyone could give me in these matters.
     
     Thank you in advance
