[T2] Voltage regulator

[Al Brase]

Routine maintenance on generators is to replace the brushes. Being they
ride on a commutator they have much shorter life than brushes in a an
alternator (which ride on a continuous ring).
So, it is quite easy to change the brushes and that would be the first
thing to check.
