Alternator not working :-(

[Matt_B]

Just got my engine back in over the weekend - all good apart from the alternator is not putting out much voltage - only about 2v. at tick-over it is about 1.6v and then rises to 2v when revved - any ideas? Below are pictures of the alternator - it isn't ver old but has been sat for nearly a year.

Could it be the external regulator (on the side) (he says hopefully!!)
Thanks.
