Field coils in both the running and donor Onan are bad, so I think it's time to move on. What have folks replaced it with? Something available now, so Honda EV6010 doesn't qualify. Something like the 5.5 Cummins Onan? We live the the Great Pacific NW, so AC isn't required (OK, 3 days a year maybe), so we could just toss a 3K portable in the Onan cavity and get by.
If you have one good armature between them, contact Jim Miller and see if he can offer a solution. He is close to being able to produce/sell rewound field windings. jmiller at jcmco dot com

Anything else you try to stuff into that compartment will be a major struggle.
