Robert

Consider a loose or shorting out wire in, or near the ammeter.
Bum ammeter?
If you are loosing headlights, and/or gauges, it's something related 
directly to the battery line. (brown wires)
Or like you said, the alternator. But a bad alt shouldn't show a major 
discharge, just not a full charge, you should be showing 12 volts on the 
battery gauge, less than 12 is a short somewhere.
