Howard regulators accept third-party controls. SEL lists Howard among the 32-step regulators its SEL-2431 control supports, Siemens markets MJ panels as a retrofit for Howard regulators, and the Cooper CL-6 has a Howard tap-changer setting. Internal potential winding taps and an external ratio correction transformer are provided on all ratings, so check the nameplate for the connected voltage.
