Solid State 6v Regulator?

As some of you probably know, the old style generators/regulators function as follows...
When there is a load on the battery, the regulator turns on the field winding of the generator, which in turn puts out power, when there is no load, the regulator stops supplying powerto the generator, and hence stops puting out power. This is dont by current sensitive relays in the regulator box. This is not a truly regulated system, by any means. Replacement regulators run upwards of $50 easy. Are these the old relay style or have they switched to a newer solid state regulator.
The solid state ones actually vary the field current which varies the output voltage of the generator.
Now I have no intentions on replacing my regulator for the time being, but I just wondered if such a regulator exists (for 6 volt sytems)..
This would elimate the possibilty of overcharging the battery in the event of a continual non battery charging load.

Now if one converts to 12v, the alternator is self regulated and totally solves this issue.

I've looked hard for a solid state regulator and can not find one. I found one company that sold them in the recent past, but they stopped for some reason. I went the 10si alternator route since they have a solid state regulator built into them, but my first chice would have been to replace just the old point style regulator. I just don't find equipmet with points to be as reliable as solid state equipment. Just my opnion.

The old cut outs and regulator work just fine with the wires going where they belong and good connections. I have several Bs and As with the original stuff and they just work but some people get the ground wrong and who knows what else and have trouble. Dont know about any solid state stuff as mine are all original and they just work. Supplier says the old cut-outs arent avail as they were replaced with a regulator.
