I am not looking for a used one. I was checking to see if anyone had one
that was purchased and never used that is sitting on a shelf. I figured a
fellow vanowner could use getting some money more than some company. I
wouldnt do all that work to put a used unit on, although I did consider a
reman one. Seems that the remans and generic aftermarket ones are in the $50
to $60 range some with warranty some without. New ones seem to be in the $75
to $100 range and not much difference in the warranty so I am still mulling
that over. I also figured that it may be possible to trade some of the 99
bay stuff I have here and reduce that pile a little.
Thanks for the input, I appreciate it

A J
