In NC we have DC automotive that has used alternators.
I was tempted to get one to test and install if good and rebuild the current one as spare. Has anyone had luck getting a chain to bench test?
Also what alternator is it? I.e., what would I search for matching rectifier and brush parts?
I checked some threads and didn't find any successful tests or repair attempts.

I couldn’t find a shop that would test anymore
They just want to sell a replacement

The two shops I use to used both got old and closed up
It’s a dying skill for certain

I ended up using a rebuild shop in berkley that is still open
Paid shipping both ways but well done
So I sent 3

I could let one go but the price I paid could buy a new one
However mine are original Bosch units rebuilt correctly
