And then I went to a local pawnshop during lunch and found a used appion G5 twin unit for $300. It looked in good condition.
The upside to the appion is that I can ask them to power it up in the store before I buy it.
I've never priced these units before, so I wasn't sure how good/bad these might be.
suggestions?
I got lucky in that I have a friend who loaned me his unit until I could find one used for $10.

You should consider whether you are likely to go into the HVAC trade, or to become an avid experimenter. While you're considering these things, you might call a local HVAC shop and ask them how much it would cost if you brought your unit in to them to extract the gas.
