Stop in for a cup of coffee

Just use a ohm meter unless you are rebuilding them. Still have to test the output off the alt.
I've got three to fix. Two are almost certainly blown diodes. Probably replace the cap at the same time. All the replacement is WAI WEI Transpo china made so prob a crap shoot if they last a long time or die in first use. One has a bearing that seized up on me. Got it free with Kroil beleive it or not, but it needs replacing.
The third runs well but a little loose, so it too needs at least one bearing. Someone may want this one for a correct isolated field roundback '70 to '71 only
