I just rebuilt my S/G and it's a pretty simple unit. Depending on which Delco-Remy model you have (some have 2 bearings, others have a bearing and a bronze bushing) you can get a rebuild kit on ebay. Look up the model number to figure out what kind you have. It sounds like you either burnt up the bushing or the bearing because there wasn't any oil lubricating them.
The kit will also have new brushes. The only reason to scrap a S/G is if the coils have shorts or opens in them, but since you were able to start your 108, it sounds like your coils are fine.
Just rebuild it w/ new bearing(s)/bushing, brushes, and keep oil in it so the new ones won't overheat.
