I asked Drake about repairing the old one as you suggest, but they said they
did not recommend that.
As I have to get a skilled engineer to do the job anyway, I figured the
replacement with a new one would be a better bet, but did not realise it
would cost me so much in the end, that is, the high landed cost of the
replacement.

Yes, that's a 1998 model. How much use has your R8B had? Are you the
original owner? I'm wondering how long it takes before the encoder
problem can develop. Did you save the old encoder?
