Dang, that's it. Pack yer bags, Maude, we're a movin' to Tucson. Wish I'd
a'knowed that sooner.... ;-)
In all honesty, that does seem a bit high, at least from my Northeast U.S.
perspective. I've sold at least one for no more than $125, and I know
there is at least one very reputable vendor in the UK who can UPS a
rebuilt gearbox to your door in the U.S. for a total cost not approaching
$500.
Throw in OD and one MIGHT be then approaching the $500 mark, though...
How is it in other areas of the U.S., fellow SC gearbox fans?
