Years ago there was someone offering a modification for a normal

alternator. Essentially to remove the diodes and use it as an A.C.
alternator.

Leece-Neville alternators had the AC terminations on the rear housing
as standard.

Also offered a firewall mounted transformer to provide 120VAC from the
alternator; however, since alternator output is frequency sensitive,
had to operate the engine at a fixed RPM if you needed 60 HZ.

Didn't sell a lot of transformers, BTW.

I only remember the adverts in magazines. Never actually saw one. With
today's electronics I think it would be easier just to run an
inverter.
