Henry,

Don't know why the recommendation on not using a CE ball bearing, but he must know something we don't know.

Here is a suggestion. Go down to your favorite auto supply store and buy a suitable rebuilt Delco 12-volt generator. Then, take it home and disassemble it and do your magic in refinishing. It will have a new bearing and bushing and brush set. The armature will have been reconditioned and likewise the field coils. This should satisfy all your needs and wants in an affordable way. What do you think? You could do the same with a starter.
