Voltage regulator for L1500

[fcoffman]

Hello all, I have 70's vintage L1500 with a blown voltage regulator. It's a nippondenso unit
with 3 lugs -
part number is 026000-2210
Can't seem to find one on the Internet

Anyone know a source for this quaint unit?
anyone have one rattling around in a drawer?
Appreciate any advice
Thanks

Sorry, did not look at your photo closely,
does yours not have a 6 pin plug like this......

Never seen one like in your photo.

I got one from John's Auto electric in St. Michael mN. If you need to punt, you could call them and see if they'll ship.

This unit was straight up out of Japan hand built in a bamboo shed in a rice paddy
all my stickers are in Japanese and the electronics are all unique maybe I could adapt a l175 unit if I knew which wires to use

I don't know whether the L175 regulator fits or not. I know that the alternator has a different connector. Mind didn't charge when I got it. The regulator was fried. The alternator worked, but the bearings were going out, so I got a new regulator and had the alternator rebuilt. If I were going to do it again, I'd convert it to a single wire alternator. In addition to making a simpler system, it would have gone from 15 to 40 amps.
