Although the upfront cost isn't quite $10K (it's actually just a few $K),
there isn't enough demand to cover the outlay.

However, I'm not sure how you know the problem is with the FBT.
You might consider sending it to someone for repair. You might find
the FBT is ok.

Additionally, people who repair these units may have the required parts on hand.
