    Hi Mike, Elle and all
    Yup I opted for the new alternator-=-even with low mileage, the age of the
    car would have necessitated a new alt. sooner or later--and a new complete
    alt kinda gave me piece of mind .
    Thanks for everybody's input!

    YOU'RE the one talking about JUST replacing the brushes:

    "ISTM the labor it takes to do just the brushes can approach the total
    cost of replacing the whole alternator." (see five quote levels north of
    here)
    So if you figure $80/hr shop rate, swapping the brushes should be an
    extra $20-$30 worth of labor in addition to re&re'ing the alt.
    Right, but YOU'RE the one who compared the cost of JUST replacing the
    brushes to the cost of replacing the entire alternator.
