Assuming the internal circuit board if any, remain working, what wears out
except brushes and bearings?
Bearings and brushes are the same no matter the design. Brush size is a
function of brush holder size determined by the amount of current.
I have on occasion had to flat file one side of new brushes that did not fit
exactly into very old brush holders.
Any good motor shop should be able to cross reference bearings from their
master catalog.
Shaft OD and press fit hole ID and bearing width are pretty standard.
Anybody who can use a caliper or micrometer should be able to figure that
one out.

Ken, there is one brand which definitely uses automotive pieces right
from an AC Delco catalog.
Other than that most of the brands are really alternators, that rectify
the AC to DC internally, so your friends advise was quite appropriate.
