We have been using and marketing Mando alternators for several years with excellent results. They are pictured in the online catalog, in the electrical grouping of the overhaul section.

Like the Motorola 35 amp, which has been the standard alternator for many years, the Mando is a single output unit with a built-in regulator. In addition, it has a slightly higher amp rating (55 amps), does not need a separate wire to a 12 volt source to energize the fields, and it is much more forgiving of inadvertently switching the main battery switch through OFF.
