Electrickery 2
I have 3 of these 69 T250 early models and all have the type of rectifier showed by Elbert, but there is also an extra piece of kit on all of them which looks like a regulator... similar to those on, say Yam RDs... silver box. This doesn't appear on my manual (french) or the spares fiche (alpha sport, US models then)
It wouldn't be the first time a brand did a speciality run for the Swiss market, as it is (was) often used as a test market.
Off my head: Lambretta scooters from the 50s fully decked with chrome accessories and pinstriping... elsewhere in Europe, they were butt-nakeded with drab paintwork... or jap bikes coming with indicators (signals) when these were accessories elsewhere in the world... of course everybody removed them
I'll shoot you a pic... just to be sure I'm not mind-numbed by my air leak!
Here's the set-up on my bike
