Siromer 204S alternator - is it repairable?

Alternator (12 yrs old) seems to be completely dead - not registering anything on multi-meter. Has anyone experience of mending these - can brushes be replaced, for example? Any help appreciated.

Thanks for responses. Unfortunately there it does not have a cartridge, so not an easy repair. I'm unable to remove the pulley in order to split it to get at the insides, so as Dave says, replace the whole unit.

Post a picture of it. Someone will be able to identify it. Don't make the mistake of searching for a specific siromer part

Thanks Dave. The tag says it's 14 volt 350 watts. There are four connections at the back. Any help appreciated.

Many thanks all. The Aliexpress looks a very likely source of something suitable.
From the Siromer wiring diagram, (alternator is 31); one wire goes to the ammeter (14) and the other three to (what I presume is) the voltage regulator. There must be an external one, as Siromer supply one for this and other models.

Unless you want to figure out the voltage regulator and alternator and order both, I'd buy an internal voltage regulator alternator and get rid of the external voltage regulator. Wire #4 goes to the big B+ output terminal. Wire #41 goes to the excite terminal to make the battery warning light function, unless that's an LED, then it might not supply enough amps to excite the alternator, and you'd have to use the "reg 10A" wire to excite the alternator) Wire #9 off the alternator appears to be Earth since the other side of the flasher is B. The voltage sense terminal on the new alternator can be run to the "reg 10A" if it's not needed for excite, or hook it directly to the B+ output terminal along with wire #4.
 

Have you taken any land out of production from last autumn?
