My 1500-or-so hour-since-new alternator crapped out on me today, so I need a replacement. I'd appreciate any suggestions about where I might be able to get either a new or rebuilt one, or even a surplus used one. Or, if that's not possible in a reasonable time, where I might send it to be rebuilt. It's got about 12 volts on the field terminal but isn't charging the battery. Based on auto experience, I'd guess it's a bad diode, but I don't have any evidence for that.
It's a 60 amp gear driven unit. Although my plane is a 1967 G model, the engine is just a few years old if that makes any difference.
Thanks!
Roy
