Mark, How is it driven? You might be able to find a 24 volt alternator and
make a drive adapter for it. It you wanted to go to 12 volts there are a
number of small tractor dynamos (permanent magnet alternators) available
from John Deere and others. Again, a drive adapter would be required but
once done you'd have a ready source of replacement parts without the high
ticket price.

The LOM generator is a simple object, and is no different in design from an
y
other generator. - Any aircraft electrical specialist should be able to hel
p
you, or an automotive shop with an interest in the vintage market. A quick
Google search for =B3generator repair=B2 found 5 in the city where I live.

For an aircraft generator overhaul shop, I would start here:

If they won=B9t look at yours, they can probably suggest someone who will.

Are you certain it is the generator that has failed and not the control
box/wiring?
