My LM470 uses a plastic replacement instead of the Hoffman box (PVC?)
and they don't rust.

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 :-)

I have an HDX-589 tower that is need of a replacement control box. In
looking at the 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.
