Take the end cap off and measure from the field terminal on the outside to the field connections on the inside. They corrode up.
Take out the armature and measure from one plate to the next on the commutator ring. It should be pretty low ohms.
Carefully file the armature like a machinist (in an arc motion) VERY lightly will take off the accumulated gunk from the armature.
Seriously....10-15 minutes and $50 saved.
If that doesn't work - go with the alternator...
