## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT REPORTED STANDBY ALTERNATOR INOP LIGHT CAME ON.  THE SYSTEM WAS SHUT DOWN AND RETURN TO BASE. THE ALTERNATOR WAS FOUND TO BE UNSERVICABLE. A SEARCH OF THE AIRCRAFT RECORDS FOUND THAT THIS WAS T HE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR.  THERE IS NO T.B.O. PUT ON THIS UNIT FROM CESSNA.  THE BASE PUT A 3000 HOUR TBO ON THE ALTERNATOR.
