Old Mercedes Alternator: to Keep or Not to Keep?

Asked by majorrich (14741points) March 22nd, 2015

I have a 1978 Mercedes 240d that the Alternator has ceased to work after several regulator replacements. I have replaced the original alternator with a rebuilt one and it is purring along famously. A local shop wishes to rebuild my old alternator so that I will have one “on hand”. He says it is very desirable to have the original everything when I go to sell my car. Is this advice wise or bunk?
