I had a similar voltage issue last year, although mine didn't cut out, it just didn't charge the battery. As in your case, battery tested okay, r/r tested okay and stator tested okay, but low AC volts. When I took the stator cover off I found that the rotor magnets had either shattered, or were free floating [emoji50]
Not a common thing to happen...
I replaced the rotor with one from a breaker, and that solved that problem.
Unfortunately, shrapnel from the magnets later took out the oil pump, so that was the end of that.
Unless you've had the stator cover off recently you'll need a new gasket for re-assembly.
