Re: Supercharger alternator
What part? Functionally the sc alternator isn't massively different from an n/a one.
The main casting is a mirror image as it mounts on the opposite side of the engine and the wiring with regard to the regulator is different as the sc is somewhat unusual in having an external regulator.
I doubt the issue is insurmountable though if you can give us more details.

Re: Supercharger alternator
I agree, it should be a formality to fix the old one, i bet it's the external regulator that has failed.

Re: Supercharger alternator
when I had my first alternator reconditioned, the rotor or its coil was bust and was really hard to find a replacement.
everything else was a p1$$ of cake but finding the correct rotor was what took almost 3 months.
i bet someone else would call it beyond repair for simplicity's sake.
