Rob a few years back my 40 amp alt on STranger karked it. I had it rebuilt at an Auto Electrics shop. They respun the centre and its working juST fine after another 100,000k's  :think1 Maybe ask about over your way if any Auto Electricians know someone to rewind the centre spool bit and replace anything else that needs fixing. :grin
Picton  if it doesn’t flood higher than previous times.

"the centre spool bit" = rotor.
The stationary part is called the armature.

Good to know the names when you go visiting the electrician- gives the impression you know what you're talking about.    :grin

Funnily enough, that's what I was taught on the Twin Otter Ground School (where it's DC, but same spinning part).  So I thought I'd better check before dredging up the memory and I found this:

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=stator+alternator+construction&rlz=1C1CHBD_en-GBAU783AU783&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=oMvExl1eEo4q3M%253A%252CDrxT_rX0JaLMFM%252C_&usg=__2AN4Yr-oc6sThk3afrpR8FyZ7AQ%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiK6fey4KTZAhWFEpQKHZHbDbgQ9QEIZzAP#imgrc=3XACfYcZC55SiM:

which I took to be pointing at the stator.

Correction welcome!   :thumbs

Some people call alternators generators which I guess is what they are with the difference being that the armature and field coils are reversed in the alternator or as I have also seen called as an AC generator.

Alternators produce AC (usually in 3 phase) and rectify it to DC.

Generators produce DC direct.
