FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK. I have a friend who made his own adjustable 'on the fly' regulator. (He was snowed/iced in and the reg burned out in his work van, so a good bit of it might have been cabin fever.) He's a retired EE from Ma Bell and a ham-call sign N4ZD. He also works on avionics, aircraft radios & electrical systems.

He might be persuaded to build you one but you'd have to ask nicely and offer $25 or so. His name is Art. Aerofabco@juno.com.
