I'm the guy that had the 6V gen/reg problem...pressing on the brushes does make the light go out, but once I turn the car off, it'll come on again upon re-start. Press on the brushes (actually, the bottom one) again, it goes out again. The brushes don't have but maybe 4K on them, perhaps worn brush springs? Far as I know they are original (37 years old). Is there a source for new springs? I have a spare generator, but would rather not cannabalize it.
Again, Thanks!!
