VL Myrsky II had a Russian voltage regulator located at the right corner in the front of the cockipit. However, the regulator of the MY-14 has disappeared. The brackets remained but they were corroded and bent. The sprung rubbers were destroyed and the filling sleeves were disappeared.

A proper voltage regulator (RKK GS 1000) was fortunately found from the storages of the Finnis Air Force Museum. It was cleanded outside and inside and covered by Renaissance vax.

The brackets were fixed, blasted by glass balls and painted. The bolts and sprung rubbers were renewed and the used rubbers were probably from MiG fighters. They seems to be copied from Britishs ones. Needed filling sleeves have been made from duraluminium by lathe work.
