Alternator!!

I had to replace my alternator the other day because it just froze. Would not even let the engine start. I was looking at it and found a date stamp on it. It was dated 1985. I was like WOW amazing. I cant believe it lasted that long.

It may have been rebuilt, or it could be original.
