I'm looking for a good source for a good quality 12V voltage regulator for my 102 Cadet. I want one that will last; I'm tired of cheap imports. A gold-plated, American-made VR suits me just fine.

The IH paart number was 545130R91 or R92 or R93. If you do an eBay search for one of them along with "USA" you get a couple hits that claim USA made replacements. Beware that some sellers highlight their USA location without USA built parts. Maybe you have already been down that path.
fwiw - I have a 149 that hadn’t charged for years. A 149 has the battery and the regulator under the seat, far away from the heat and is dampened somewhat from vibration. Anyway, I stumbled across a YouTube video where a guy was saying that often all they need is to clean the contacts inside the regulator. I did that and it’s been working great ever since.
