I was planning on orderng a rebuilt AFM from Kenneke. It's a bit
cheaper at $169 (minus core charge of $30 when you send your back) but
also close to home as I'm in Washngton and they're in Oregon.  I like
to keep my money local!

I haven't heard much feedback on them. I'd happily order one from the
Bus Depot if the quality is better.
