unless you find someone dismanteling one, you won't find one. you can get your's recored which would probably be your most efficient and longest lasting repair. i have one or two but they are not in that great of shape either, 1 i know has a pinhole and not sure of the other one. if you are looking for a spare to have recored, let me know i will see what i have for sure.

Thanks. The radiator shop said recoring would be my best option but also quoted about $1200 to do it. Does this seem reasonable?

ow, that hurts. i would shop around a little to see if it is fair. sounds high to me although copper is very expensive now. is your old one leaking or just clogged? can you rehab that one?

Wow, $1200 for a re-core... I had mine done in 2003 for about $400, wow copper really has increased.
I think you right track needs to be tightened a little...

Shaefer Ent. out of Wolf Lake IL located one from Penn. and one from Ohio for $500 and $700. I ordered the one for $500 with a 30 day warranty. It's gotta be better than the one I had, knock on wood.
