Alternator Restorers recommendation?
 

I found an original, unrebuilt alternator closer to the build date of my 72 T/A and I need to get the original metal finish restored.

What I really need is the case refinished with a vibratory tumbler and NOT a sandblaster, I can do the rest. Anyone have a tumbler set up or had good results with one?

Or in the alternative (no pun intended) recommend someone who can do the entire unit, including the electricals?

Check with John Pirkle in Georgia...he does good work.

I can tumble it....I like to lightly glass bead them first then throw it in the media with a heavy water/oil bath and run it for about 45 min to a hour..

Ken Bruno in NY is also good, very good TAR time. Pirkle is 10-15 weeks. Too slow.

I too have heard this about Bruno.

I have used Cindy at American Armature and Generator in Weston, Texas (214-823-1383) for all of my alternators

They are very good and have a quick turn around. They have the correct diode ink stamps too.

Let Big Steve in Cleveland do it for you. (68l30) He is a member here and a pretty fussy guy! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Bruno sold me a restamped 837 a while back, be careful.
