Onhand spares for mod-con....

^ you have to be a bit careful on some of the electronic components on ebay. For instance if I look up the control board for my UFT- there is one on there for $200 + $13 shipping. A new one from HTP is $219 + shipping. The thing is... the ebay control board is rev. 11 which is (at least) two revisions behind the current HTP supplied control board. So you may actually take a step back in functionality and features by using the ebay control board.1

You are wise to hold parts like that, the parts will be obsolete long before a properly maintained boiler.Adolfo2 said:
I entered the part numbers in eBay and had it automatically search 24/7 and notify me when something popped up. I've purchased a system board, gas valve, blower, etc at less than 50% of the wholesale cost.

I have a box of modcon specific spares going also. Auto alerts set when certain parts come up on auction sites also. I've noticed some supply houses list parts I've acquired as "no longer available" or the part is on WM's discontinued stock list. I'm hoping to get many years out of my boiler with good maintenance. Like HR mentioned it will be a cryin shame when replacement time comes early due to obsolete parts and not a failing heat exchanger.2
