Good Morning,

My (new) battery  is not holding a charge and my volt gauge is reading less
than 12v.  Tightening the alternator belt did not fix the problem. Aside
from the Bentley
high tech test procedure (what is a variable resistor and how does one
obtain one?)  and the Hanes manual's suggestion that it is too complicated
for a moron like me.

Should I just fork over the bucks and get a new alternator?  If someone
could share a practicle diagnostical approach it would be greatly
appreciated.
