I'm not saying that someone didn't re-wind yours but I havent seen anyone do that to an automotive alternator - ever. It isn't cost efficient for the rebuilder. They just throw the bad piece on the heap and grab another.
Anyway, if the dash lit up when the alternator went bad that will be due to a bad rectifier and regulator, not stator, field or brushes.
