New regulators are about $50 from FastLane (click on Buy Parts at the top of this page -- they support the forum).
I did check the regulator. At idle is 13.7 and at 2000 rpm is 14.2 Alternartor has about 17k miles on it. I tough may be the ELR started acting up, but I don,t know if this model is equipt with it.
