With you supplying the parts I suppose that it is possible for someone to quote that price, but it sounds too cheap to me.

Replacing the motor with a rebuilt one is usually a less expensive alternative. Paul In a message dated 2/29/2004 10:30:42 PM Eastern Standard Time, thulse@xxxxxxxxxx writes: > Thanks for the info.
