Not sure what cost to rebuild it yourself would be, but I'd guess about half that.
Thanks.

I found another source that would rebuild mine for $3600 plus freight.

As I said, it's a guessing game until one tears into it. I gave as much info as I could to get a sense of what parts might be salvageable and what might need replaced.
