agreed ... my point is, if you use low prices - 200 for the sides and switches / 300 for the face plate / 50 for the connecting duct / 200 for the evaporator + base you are at 750. i know you want it to be less, but it is a reasonable number / starting point.
Caution on these old evaprators. They become brittle. I purchased one from a fellow member 6 months ago after a very long search. Unfortunately, due to packaging and rough handling by the Postal Service, it arrived completely shattered. The plastic cowling that covers the blowers and heat exchanger was smashed into many pieces, and crumbs. I imagine this is due to age and warm/chill cycles taking a toll on the flexibility of the plastic.
At any rate i have taken the time to glue the entire thing back together (rather Frankenstein) and will proceed with a thin layer of fiberglass (3/4 ounce cloth) and polyester resin if it will stick, or else glass with epoxy resin over all major surfaces of exterior. My fear is delamination under warm/chill cycles.
I also bought an evaporator from a fellow forum member and the enclosure was well packed, but still arrived with a long running crack and a broken tab. To survive the perils of the post office, these really should be double boxed with packing between the boxes. They are rare enough that they deserve such treatment. I'll have to repair it, but not as extensively as Scott.
