Hmm, I guess you can play "wait & see"
I know a lot of people who over-paid for some machines & started to get into them only to have the project fizzle, or other circumstances change and they decide to sell & all they remember is how much they paid for that machine up front, not taking into account that the machine ( in the case of a working unit) has what I like to call a "Usage enjoyment depreciation" factor , IE; they've used it for years, done next to nothing to the machine other than stock it. so it's like, yeah, you ( the owner) paid say $900.00 for the thing, now you've torn it apart & major components are missing or beyond repair, but they won't budge from the original price they paid. & that is their prerogative.
On the plus side, if anybody needs a new/repro'd full stainless steel liner for this standard size GE wet-chest, I've got one. but I'm not letting it go for less than I paid!
