Slyde,
I checked with Ed - he says that he just had a local shop rebuild it. I know that there are also numerous rebuilding places listed in Hemmings as well. I currently have a '78 alternator out with Precision Power (Lansing, Michigan) - they are more "high end restoration" oriented - but there are also places that for $150 or so will do all new bearings, brushes, refinish everything, test it out, etc. Let me know if you want to go that route - I have a name of a guy in Mass who seemed very good when I talked to him on the phone. FWIW, when Ed had his done, it turned out that the problem was the regulator (external to the alternator through 1977 - it's down by the battery) so you might check that as well.
Good luck!
Gary
