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.

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: http://www.aircraftaccessoriesofok.com/capabilities_i887911.html?catId=4002 5 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? Steve On 9/14/09 4:46 PM, "Mark P" wrote: > Hi folks. I have an AK 337 with the factory 24volt generator.
