[quote...new repro is about 1200 , he's not going to get that for one that needs to be restored , if he does ... at the buyer ...


I think it would work out if he could sell it for $600 or more and save the $600 on a recore and then you have your net of $1200 for a repro 048 instead of wasting time and $ recoring the wrong radiator in the first place?
