Ever see an old car with one dim headlight. It happens often with 6 volt systems and dampness. Check the main battery cables at both ends for corrosion, paint etc. Since it is all the lights I would suspect the wire from the ammeter to the light switch as well.

If the lights were brighter, (I know not BRIGHT), before then it is a common connection to all of them that is bad. I have seen the terminals on the end of the wire go bad so check those too. As far as gen vs alt goes the gen on my 27 Ford T is the original and still works, and I have seen many alternators go bad so I have no preference.
