[AT] OK, oddball question...

[Cecil Bearden]

I would contact DB electrical . com and see if they have a 36V 
alternator regulator for a delco alternator.   Those one wire delco 
alternators can be converted to almost any voltage.  There was a system 
many years ago that took the voltage off the regulator and put it 
directly on the fields and ran 110 volt drills etc....
