Steve-
The 6RA controls current to field coils, ie, it functions as the cut-out 
part of an old style regulator. So if he dead, you dead. It can be 
cleaned up/adjusted by opening it up. Contacts C1-C2 close between 6.0 
to 7.5V across W1-W2., with an adjustable voltage supply. Contacts open 
as voltage is reduced below 4.0V min. Must use moving coil voltmeter to 
see this correctly. But any relay that turns on/off anywhere close to 
that range should work as a replacement - common 4 terminal relays on 
everything today..
 Don't think the 3AW does anything except turn light on, but it gets 
activated off  one pair of Alt diodes, so if these are flaky it might 
not work, but would be indicating partial alt failure.Test procedures 
available if you need them.
