Bob, do your lights brighten when you rev engine? Or dim when you put blower on high? Voltage regulator is mostly all about charging battery. Battery volts go from what, 12 to 14 depending on what is going on (6-7 on 6V systems)
That being said, it is correct as staed above that stock 6V 50 stude has no thermal gauge regulator. Maybe they just let gauges move, only accurate when engine is running/battery charged? None of these are exactly precison instruments..( aka GM gas gauge syndrome..you run out and it reads 1/8).
I do not know about stude stock 12v. But I do know Ford and 50 Stude both read full scale with a steady 5 V on them. Maybe why tank ohms do not go to zero when full, on ford, from old 6 v system?(still loses ~ 1 volt at F ) still some drop at sensor even when full..
The point of all this is to try to understand it exactly, instead of guesses and opinions. I have no personal stake in how the hell it works,i just want to know the "WHY" .
