Need to replace or repair Ample Power Alternators

We have had Ample Power P124, 130amp, 12volt alternators on our Hans Christian 48 Mercedes engine for 30 years. We are constrained in mounting and clearance. Our alternators are no longer performing well and we need to repair or replace them. Does anyone have suggestions on where to find Ample Power replacements or repair shops that have the heavy duty parts. Thank you!

I should have included that we have the alternators with us in Jupiter, FL. The boat is currently in Tahiti.

There was a hispanic guy on Federal Hwy in Stuart that rebuilt our lucas starters in 2012 and stood by his work. I don't see him on google any more, but he was honest and good.

I believe that Ample Power contracted the manufacture of their alternators to either PennTex or Amptech. Both are in Fort Worth TX

Also from memory, those alternators were built in a Delco 10DN case so no issue getting suitable parts.
