I took my TR250 alternator in to get it tested at a national chain parts store, it tested bad, but they said they could get a replacement, and further that it would be about $60 bucks for a rebuilt unit. I was actually pretty surprised, they had the TR250 in their parts database.
I am skeptical as to what I will actually get--the TR250 alternoator is unique from the TR6 and most alternators in that it has an external regulator. I also took it to the local old-timer electrical starter/alternator/generator shop and he recognized it as british right away, but then said never seen one like that, can't gt parts for it.
Any guesses as to what I might get if I order this thing?
Supplier is listed as "Worldwide" "36 Amp Alternator for TR250".
I am old enough to beleive that things that sound too good to be true usually are.
My preferance would be to keep the old one and fix it, I have taken it out and cleaned it up as best I can, one of the brushes is pretty well gone, so I am going to replace it and give it another try, but my primary question for the list is any guesses or knowledge as to what i get if I order the thing?
Secondary, and advice about bringing an alternator back to life apreciated.
Diagnosis by the machine was low output and a "leaky diode" or short.
