Last time I had an alt rebuilt it cost around $150. That included
replacing bearings and a diode pack. If it needs to be rewound
then I check the cost of a new one.

Thanks. I think it's definately a newer alt. than the engine (2nd
owner), which is why I'd rather replace parts. I took off the
regulator, but it looked fine, although it's hard to tell since it's
filled with molded plastic. If I pull it off, do you think a local
alternator shop could rebuild it cheaply? Thanks all.
