I found this interesting:

I don't know if it is part of your problem or not.

When you pulled off the old regulator, what shape were the brushes in? Usually, they are quite short (worn down) and one of them has moved enough to no longer have good contact.

Were you watching the person bench testing the alternator? Why not?
