Does anyone know how I can get my hands on a good voltage reg. Is it very common to have to go through 2 or 3 VR to get one that works?

No, there probably something killing them.
Your VR dying sounds to me to be a symptom, not the illness.
Check to see if you stator is healthy.

The more common problem is Connector 77.
Here is a good write up:

The stator is new and seems to be working fine 13.8 at idle and 26-35 vac off idle.
When I check the output from the VR to battery it is only 3vdc. I am stumped the stator, VR, and Battery are all brand new the fuses are good and there are no wires going to ground!
