The most amazing thing is the price is up to $1,500.00 !

Is that a sham bid from the owner?

What a waste of time and money.

The good news is a dryer is fairly cheap. Replace the orifice tube and all the o-rings. Add the proper amount of oil and pull a vacuum. Let it sit for day and see if the vacuum readings stay the same. ...
