Due to it's weight, a generator would be fairly expensive to ship. I
would recommend just taking it to a local automotive
generator/alternator repair shop. Your local parts store should be able
to point you to one. They are not that hard to repair, unless the
armature is bad.
Usually it is just the brushes, and clean up the commutator and replace
the bearings. The brushes, and bearings are the same as a type-1.
