Thermoquad worth it - or no?

I give $20 max for a tq off a non running engine,sometimes only $10 if it's corroded.. Never actually paid more,as guy's always want silly $$ for a tq in good shape,performance series or not. I might pay $50 if it came off a running motor and was useable. Your gonna sink at least $50 into a tq to rebuild it,new floats,gaskets etc.

X'2 though I guess I was thinking/replying from a view that it is/was recently a running TQ. Junkyard/swap meet TQ's are like you said.

Kit's are enuff money by themselves. IF a known rebuilder of these things takes there time, does a really nice job and makes it look brand new, I'll pay him his work fee. In this area, I don't mind so much.

That means no to 99% of you guys, I don't want your "Re-built" glass beeded TQ carb.
