With a donated water heater and a couple of window units sitting in line, I believe I can tackle one of these for under $100.

Well, so much for that idea. The owner went and priced replacement water heaters. After that, he changed his tune. Need less to say, I'm not going to be getting that one. It is well worth repairing. He said a 40 gallon, glass-tank replacement was in the range of like 600 bucks.
I'm just on the edge of my seat, waiting for that call...
