You can buy a decent load tester at Harbor Freight.
That device you're holding looks like a condenser. Considering the original voltage regulators were mechanical devices (with contacts) a condenser was likely used to extend the lifespan of those contacts.
I should double check my truck. I think I have the original regulator, and I'm not sure it has a condenser.
