Default Regulator for Onan brush type gen set 25KW

I have an old Onan 25KW generator powered by a Ford 6 cyl gasoline industrial engine. The unit runs well, but the voltage regulation circuitry is troublesome (old relays that stick, etc) My question- is there a modern replacement voltage regulator I can retrofit to this unit? It is a brush type, most regulators I have seen are for brushless units.

While searching, found this older thread that applies to my question. Attached is nameplate (provided by current owner so I can not get a better one yet). Genset has electro-mechanical voltage regulator that does not work steadily. Can these be repaired or replaced with something better? Thanks

I do not have a direct answer to your question, but I have a voltage regulator for 3 phase military 1800 RPM generators. Have no idea if it will fit.
