I also have to swap out all the light bulbs, and possibly some rewiring. Not all that much work involved, but a reasonable amount of $$$ that is not in the penny jar right now.
You can convert all that stuff to 12-volts if it will make you feel better. But if money is a factor, you would spend a lot less if you just fix it as a 6-volt system. Most likely, the generator can be "rebuilt" by turning the armature and putting new brushes in.
Your choice and your money.
