Re: electrical failure
Doubt if it is the alternator bearings - if they are worn you will probably get noises like scraping noises and if it is really bad it may lock up but you will have all sorts of other symptons like the belt sqealing or the engine starting with a jolt. I would start by removing and cleaning out the battery connectors. Also it would be handy to get voltage readings off the system. Can you get a hold of a multimeter. Check the voltage when the problem happens and see if there is anything. The voltage with the ca turrned off should be close to 13V and above 14V when it is running (the alternator will produce a higher voltage than the battery in order to get current to flow to it). That would be the first things to check.
