Question W123 Brake Calipers

O.K., I had my 1984 300CD up on jack stands and noticed the front wheel brakes are dragging a bit .

The fluid has gone black again since I last flushed & bled the system two years ago .

This car has the Bendix calipers, I don't like them because of the tiny hair pins that retain the pad's pins and am thinking of buying ATE calipers....

Looking on the Pelican site they're $pendy even rebuilt .

New, forgeddaboutit .

So, do I flush the system again and then go to my favorite junk yard and pull a good used pair that I've tested and don't have sticky pistons or what ? .

$ is always a concern for me, retired and on a minimal fixed income .

? Thoughts? .

(please don't brash me for being cheap ! ) .

TIA,
