So off the auto parts store for a replacement alternator, some sandlot mechanic maneuvers in the parking lot to install it, and all is well.
There is a lesson here somewhere.
Thank you for your suggestions. They kept me from resorting to hammer time.

Most probably the regulator they installed was duff. Or the positive contact leaf spring for the regulator was crusty or bent out of shape.
My bet is that the regulator was a far eastern product and was made with sloppy workmanship.
