The problem could be as simple as needing a new set of brushes.
It's kind of up to you. If you pull the alternator out yourself and check it over you might get away with a $20 brush replacement - or you might end up needing a replacement alternator.
Or you can drive into an auto elec and regardless of the fix you're going to pay at least $120, and probably more.
It could even be dirty/weak connections from the alternator to the battery althought I doubt it.
