Early 180 generator

My generator stopped charging today. Appears the bearing got really stiff and the belt was slipping. Working on getting that solved quickly. But, for longer term, does anyone know of anyone that can overhaul an old generator? Or does someone have a generator that was working when removed that perhaps still has some life left in it?

I am NOT going to swap to an alternator until I have to, for a variety of reasons.

Not sure about aviation-specific repair options, but I have used Haines Auto Electric in twin falls for similar overhauls. Might just need to tell them it’s for a boat. :mrgreen:
