Used 3G alternator value?

Post by rtreads »

I have the 3G alternator from my v belt set up sitting here in the garage. My question is, what value does it have? I need to find a high output alternator to convert to a welder. I would like to use an externally regulated unit, as they are easier to convert into a welder. But do I sell this one, and then try to find one from napa or something? Or do I just use the 3G that I already have? Is it valuable?

It is like this one:

Thanks for the feedback!

I would like it to be a hard mounted unit. Nothing additional to bring but cables... until I build some storage. Then they will be in there at all times. You never know when you will need to fix something.
