voltage regulator contacts burning

["Rob van der Es" <r.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe this procedure is decribed in the 1960 FSM, I never went into it 
cause my 60 came with an alternator.
Since the 1960 FSM is online one can easely print out the appropiate pages.

Good luck with polarizing!,

Robert
