My Elky's alternator once aging started growling and I had been putting up with it not charging until I got the engine to 2,000 RPM the first time. Then it charged fine.
I yanked it off an put on my backup spare one wire alternator and took the freshly removed one back to Autozone. They listened to the bearings and it was obvious they were toast so they hooked up the tester wrong on purpose so it would fail and the computer was happy. They handed me a replacement and off I went. It is packed up and in the attic ready for the next failure.
The best part is I can swap the alternator in 30 minutes if I take my time.
