Hi Dan,

A while back, I had the dubious honor of opening one of these up. If yours has the dual stator then be prepared for a very
interesting alignment procedure during reassembly.

I wish I could remember where the rectifier was located....with any luck you won't have to open the alternator housing.
As for rectifier replacement, I have yet to meet a turbine that wouldn't work with off the shelf rectifiers from Digikey or
some other electronics supplier.

Give me a holler if you hit a snag. Good luck!
