Ed,

I have an HDX-589.  Is the metal enclosure rusted out ?
If so, a new Hoffman box wouldn't be too much.  You could
reinstall the electrical gear in a new box for a lot less than $1000  :-)

original design, compared to the latest design in my HDX-5106, they're "apples n 
oranges."

The 589 is much older and has a complex electrical layout whereas the 5106 box 
uses three components only (terminal strip, fuse holder and switch). I called 
UST and they're asking $1000 for a replacement. Ripoff.

Long shot here - does anybody have a control box they'd like to part with?  Not 
holding my breath but worth a try.
