When its cold and the belts are tight it seems to charge and work ok. Once the belts warm up it gets loose and wont charge properly. It will also cause the bolt hole to be out of round and that will cause problems as well. Before digging to deep into it I personally would get a nut on that bolt and adjust the tensioner and see if that makes a difference.
I would also check the rest of the bolts as you can see the powdery rust on the bottom bolt indicating its not as tight as it should be. The super shiny spots on the pulley also indicate belt slippage.
Good catch i'll fix this tonight

Can you post a pic of the right side inside the electrical box? Cause you are around the time newell switched from solenoid connection of alternator to battery to diode based isolation. A quick pic will tell the tale.
Here is that picture
