On-line, I'm reading that the core charge for an alternator is typically $80. So this garage sale alternator was worth buying even if it is bad . . . *IF* my project forces me to buy another one.

I'm still a dope, but maybe not quite as much of one.

Today I pulled the alternator from the box and read the test report from Auto Zone. See the portion I circled.

Sometimes I feel like a real dope!

I'll take it to the local Auto Zone store and have them test it. My suspicion, though, is that it's a bad alternator. It definitely is not the same as the alternator shown on the box.

If it's bad, maybe it will still be worth something as a "core." How much, though, I don't know.
