An intermittent operation is an odd failure mechanism for an alternator. It is
possible that you have just a bad connection. Check the field wire for something
loose. It should run from your distribution bus via a CB or fuse to the
F connection on the alternator. With the master on also verify that your are
getting 12 volts to the alternator field connection.
Check the tightness of the other connections and if everything checks out fine,
then a new alternator may be in your future. They only cost a few hundred bucks
and are not worth repairing.
I agree with Don - if you need a new one contact PlanePower.

Good catch. When checking the field wire attached to the alternator,
pull smartly on the wire ..... I've found field wires that fractured
inside the insulation ....... then the arcing burns the wire back to the
point where it won't arc over anymore. The connection looks good, but
it isn't. I had forgotten that.

Anyone performing the 500 hour inspection SB ? I know that 135 operators are
required but in the "good" old days magnetos went to 1500-2000 hours.

For Slick magnetos it is highly recommended. From what I have seen the
inards are not as durable as a Bendix. Since you can do it yourself, all
you need is points, condenser, and the correct lube. IIRC Slick even has
tools to ensure you get the E gap correct, etc. In turbo-ed motors with
pressurized Slicks they often don't make 500 hours.
