Jack,

I recently had a local autoelectric shop replace the cloth on the field coils. It cost around $38. I replaced the bearing and rivets because they did not have the original style but they could have done that two and I installed the new brushes - very easy stuff. They recommended against having the commuter turned because they can crack; you can check it to see how worn it is. A generator rebuild should cost around $100. You need the drive end bearing, commuter brushes, the rear bronze race and possibly the two springs that press the brushes against the commuter.

More than likely the 'restorer of cars' would have farmed-out the job to a local shop (and doubled the cost).
