Having read the other posts to date.
Have you checked the Circuit breaker? Many times a circuit breaker
will loose its ability to meet rated current after it is popped or
pulled a few times. It's also over 40 years old (if it hasn't been
replaced in that time). Your problem could be as simple as that?

My '61 Cessna landing light switch has two positions; First notch is the taxi
light, and the last notch turns on the landing light but leaves on the taxi
light. Does anyone know of a legal replacement switch that separates the two
lights? (taxi light goes off on the last notch). The reason I ask is that it
still has the generator and at engine idle the generator circuit breaker often
pops due to the high load and low output. A separating switch would presumably
cut the load way down.
