    I'm shopping a Balmar Alternator and was wondering if anyone had a line on the best price for a 621-70. Called Defender and they want $449.96, which is like retail and sort of surprised me. Port Supply wants $385.00, but I can't seem to find anyone else selling them, especially online, which...
