Alternator? And is this something I can do?

Out of nowhere the 78 300SD battery stopped charging. At first I thought the dead battery was because the radio had been left on. I charged the battery and it started fine every time until the time it didn't. Just got in to a dead battery.
Whadya think? Alternator? I haven't done any poking around so I have no better info. Should I start there and is replacing the alternator something I can do? Many of you know what my skills are, but I have never replaced an alternator, ever.

Thoughts? How do I diagnose the problem?
Thanks as always!
