[Public-List] Checking the starter motor and alternator...after 20 years & 1700 hours

[Andrew Johns]

How do the bearings feel do they feel ok? Did the shop test with an
oscilloscope?

I had my alternator "gone through" earlier this year when I noticed a bit
of bearing noise.  It was disassembled, inspected, cleaned, new bearings
installed and load tested at a local shop for around $60 USD.
