Stop in at any local FLAPS and ask them to load test the battery. If is passes, and I doubt it will from your problem description, then load test the alternator. Typically, it's "no charge", for both tests and should help with your problem solution. Erratic electrical issues as you describe, from

The alternator (with non-replaceable voltage regulator) was replaced about 6 or 7 years ago, so I think a bad alternator is low on the list but yes it is still worth checking. Something is amiss, as I also still have the "lazy" tachometer, which only reads about 50% of the actual RPM. Of course,
