Question: Would it be foolish to just swap in another regulator and
see what happens? Judging from the terminals, it's been fairly moist
in it's location. Could it have just gone bad on its own or is there
likely an underlying problem.


Yes, foolish. INTERNAL electronic voltage regulators are thousands of
times more sensitive and better for the batteries, and do not corrode
like buzzers do. It's time to join the 20th....er, ah....21st century.

Skip's 94A beast, made in China of course, has but 3 connections.....

ON - 12V when you want to turn the alternator "on" to make current
Battery - where you send the current to to recharge
Ground - Battery negative hooked to the frame of it.

An AC voltage output is available if you insist on a tach reading.

Dump all the wires to the external mechanical regulator and feed the
engine on switch's output to turn on the regulator. It draws nearly zero
current as it is only a control wire, not providing rotor current which
the regulator steals from the battery post inside the alternator.

It's very simple....
