Buyer beware !!

The voltage regulators sold by Moss are not adjustable via toothed cams =
as on the old Lucas ones.
The cams are fixed and non adjustable. Moss confirmed this ... grrr

After about 20  months and very little usage it stopped working.
Problem was contacts not making properly; cleaned them and had to tweak =
the bobbin springs to set voltage and cut out etc =E2=80=93 not easy.

This was a complete surprise to me and if had known probably would have =
put more effort into repairing the 50 year old Lucas one ...
