1985 190E full electrical system failure

GOT IT FIXED!!!!!! As it turned out, it was not the alternator. There is a small terminal block in front of the battery, and the first thing I noticed was that it was melted. The wires that connect to it were totally corroded, I mean REALLY corroded. So, I pulled off the terminal block, pulled one off my parts car, then cleaned all the contacts thoroughly, replaced the screws with new un-corroded ones and it came back to life!!: I took some pictures of the procedure if anyone has any questions.
