REFLECTOR: Franklin Alternator

[Brian Michalk]

I have an aviation alternator ... which is a copy of an auto alternator.
Cost me $700.  Problem is, I don't remember specifics, so did not reply.
Airplane is at the hangar, and I'll eventually get all my documentation 
sorted out between here and there.
