Just wanting consensus on if now is the time to move to a Nurex alternator, another alternator, or rebuild the gen.
Thoughts??

If you burned up your generator trying to get the battery charging, then it sounds to me like you may have another problem that should be investigated first. I've had multiple model A's and all of them were always original generators and never an issue charging.
In trying to decide on rebuilding the generator vs alternator, consider how you use your vehicle and load on the system The Fun Projects voltage regulator is a great addition (rather than the diode cutout) to control charge rate. Generators have been running these cars for 90 years with incandescent bulbs. Now with LED options there really isn't a compelling reason to change to an alternator in my opinion.
