400 four earth points

The one that's working came off a bike with 72k recorded mileage, so we'll see how long it lasts.
The black cover was a bit crusty so might be original. Inside looks good as new.

Just curious - did you think about replacing the OEM rectifier and regulator with a solid-state "modern" component like the one DSS sells?

The standard set up is normally reliable, well it lasted 49 years. The only advantage would be if the maximum output was more in line with battery manufacturers guidelines for sla or AGM batteries.
