IF you get the right cylinder, $140 isn't too bad being NEW.
IF the motor is going, it's pushing $200.
IF you know your acc is good, you can save $200.

In round figures, $450 for a complete, all brand new (partially rebuilt) Powermaster assembly that you bolt in and comes with a warranty....???? Do you see what I am getting at? You would still have a good acc ball for a spare. You can start taking care of it right out of the box.

Rebuild kits are hard to find for a good price. From what I have researched, Kirbans has the best deal right now. $420 with a warranty, and they give you $75 core for your old P/M.

The powermaster is good, it is just unfortunately expensive. Rare breed. Just remember that air is NOT your friend when it comes to brakes. Proper bench bleeding is REQUIRED for the powermaster. Cycling the acc to get the air out is a necessity.
