I just bought 500 GB disk space for +/- $ 55 and this only as it is a small format. Bigger format external disk storage is +/- $ 70 for 1 TB of storage space. And yes in the seventies prices for storage were immense. Funny thing - we spent our holidays in London and we visited the Science Museum. Saw a Data General Nova 820 mini computer equipped with a 2.5 MB (!) Diablo 33 disk drive. This system was exhibited as the DG system was the controlling system of the world's first X-Ray brain- and bodyscanner. I worked with these DG Nova systems in the seventies - I left DG in 1987.

Monitor the voltage between those terminals and the body, and don't let it go above 20v. If it can get to 20v then it probably is OK, usually if the stator or rotor circuits are faulty it won't get anywhere near that. It should reach 20v before the engine it is attached to is spinning at 1000rpm, which is why it is better to test it on the engine, if you don't have somewhere handy that can do a proper voltage and current test.
