Regulator for Aerogen 6

[elenya]

Gentlemen and ladies I need your knowledge if I may. I am running a 17 year old Aerogen 6 via its original regulator with feeds to battery and dump resistors. The system has worked well for all those years and the actual wind generator is in excellent condition . My problem is that the regulator has failed and is a solid state affair sealed in resin which I am unable to fix.
Do any of you know of a reasonably priced 12 volt regulator that provides dumping of excess charge to dump resistors? Or have any ways of rigging such a system from a solar charge regulaor?

I have spen quite some time serching various sites and can not find a suitable regulator but I am sure they will exist or be able to be adapted from similar regulators.

Many thanks

Looks like the DC controller should work. If the Aerogen 6 is the same as the 4, it already has a bridge rectifier built in.

IW395 and Graham370 tjank you for the link and comments tht looks promising.
VicS thanks for the link. It was the cost of the branded replacement ($1000NZ before shipping and tax in NZ) that got me looking for other alternatives. I can get an AIr X for only sslightly more than the cost of the aerogen regulator.
