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. |

We had a good shop, and unfortunately they went out of business. I have another place across town, but thought that $300 was a bit much. But looking at what is available. We can either make these, or rebuild them. Unfortunately most of the places that can help us make these are offshore. Knowing that materials are everything, and copper is expensive, I did the math and figured it could be problematic.
So, the next logical path was to look at rebuilding them. I bought a bunch of cores from @914LTD and started to identify what we need to make and what we need to buy. So look for more shortly. -Mark |
