I haven't been in that market for 18 years, but you may sell yourself 
short if you think they need rewinding. That's not a common 
requirement in the rebuild. The one rated at 38V is a nominal 32V 
unit, and will work wonderfully at 24V as well, at rated current and 
thus a bit less power, but also at a lower cut-in speed.

I rebuilt 13 of them 20+ years ago,  half of which are still going, 
so I can offer some advice if you call me on the phone.
