Alternatively, just as there a people who rebuild generators on cars
aren't there places that rebuild either the motor or the clockwork
mechanism itself. I understand it might require fabrication of some
parts but I have no idea how to go about looking for these things.

Look..you wont find a reliable one..this is one case, where it IS a
losing
battle.

I have a rebuilt starter motor in my car. Quite reliable, thank you.

Wow. A starter motor is NOT a combustion unit for your furnace, and
comparing the two in this case is pointless, particularly with someone
that
knows both ends of the biz in question.
Big deal...I have a rebuilt starter on about 4 of the vans, and a rebult
alternator on all of them, and a couple have rebuilt motors...and a
few..when the engines worn to the point that its not worth rebuilding,
gets
one of two things....a new engine, rebuilt with a good block of course,
or
sold for scrap.
Your furnace...needs to be sold for scrap.

The throwaway mentality at it's worst. The furnace should and could
last forever (or at least until entropy takes it out or until the sun
turns into a red dwarf) after all it's a simple box which burns gas to
heat air. The problem is a small 24 volt motor that needs replacement,
not the walls of the furnace (approx equivalent in concept to your
engine).

Wrong..but thats ok...how many guys you know that can get 345,000 miles on a
service vehicle on a regular basis with no rebuild?
Throwaway mentality at its worst? Wrong.


Alternatively, I'm not sure I trust the plumber and his "No current
controls available with a 24 inch blast tube"

OK..then...in simplest terms...STOP.
If you dont trust him, WHY are you even considering using him?????

News flash: I don't trust ANY plumber, HVAC contractor, or
electrician, especially those who want to go for the most expensive
option.

No..the most expensive option if to throw parts at it, and its something
you
cant see...

Only one part is really necessary and after that there's a good
likelihood of another 20 years of use.


Doubtful. At this point, its doubtful you have a clue at what you are doing.


And BTW, I dont trust homeowners that balk at price, when I know good and
damn well I am as cheap as anyone for the equipment we sell, but then,
our
clients normally are not worried about much as long as they are
confortable,
and know we wont leave em hanging...and they do.

Since when does the homeowner care if YOU trust him?


Well, lets see...its a half million dollar home, and they get told to ****
off....humm...then, they call back later and suddenly my $200 per hour fee
isnt so bad.
Yes...I pick and chose, and its obvious I would pass on yours too...
BTW...I could give a **** less if you with your worn out, ancient, dangerous
in all probability unit got mad at me for telling you its a POS...


Give ya a hint tho..I have put in furnaces for less than your guy
wants
to
throw control parts at it.

Including removal of all that asbestos?

But...personally, anyone thats got asbestos still in a home, in a heating
system, is either a fool, or foolish. Not saying you are..but its
starting
to come out...

Undisturbed asbestos isn't dangerous. Just another scare tactic by
various contractors.

Yea..and I aint one of them...careful...you are about to make an insinuation
would not want to do...
The been telling me for years too that I am gonna die from cig smoke....and
thusfar....where is the proof?


You dont want to have to pay for the removal, and abatement, therefore,
you
want the furnace in place and running so that you dont have to pull
permits
and get hit with an inspector saying...thats all got to go...

Inspector? What inspector? We don't hold with those sort of people
where I live.

Yea...you got Stormin Mormon...and NY needs to get its act together and
clean house.

General note: To all of the people in this thread who suggested that I
buy a new furnace, thank you but that wasn't the question I asked. I'm
a big boy and can make my own decisions as to how to spend my money.
What I really wanted was a suggestion as to a website (or name) of a
company selling rebuilt electric motors or replacement gas conversion
units or an explanation of why a 24 inch blast tube can't be
fabricated or even what the hell a blast tube is or even the names of
these things (for searching) or a reference to a DIY website
explaining the how and why (like RepairClinic.com for appliances). It
appears that you're all just consumer lemmings when it comes to this
sort of problem.

In the past 20+ years I've become a plumber, electrician, carpenter,
welder, concrete and brick layer, tiler, flooring installer, etc. due
to overly-expensive contractors. I guess it's about time to become a
furnace repair person sigh.

That many titles...no wonder you dont know what you are doing..

Funny how you come in, ask for advice, get it from no less than 4 licenced
professionals that dont have to give you the time of day, and you act as if
we are the bad guy..
Tell you what smart guy....I have the parts needed to make it work...its not
what is on there now, but its cheaper than what you are about to pay...
You come get em, and its all yours...every old worn out part on the half
million and under BTU stuff we have out back....you sign a waiver, and get
out of here.
Free...all it would cost you is gas.
But...thats too much for you too...we understand...you just call Good Old
Stormin Mormon...his names Chris Young, and he is in your area...he and you
should make a great team...his ignorance and your failure to understand what
you are doing and why we all do NOT suggest you do it, and its a disaster in
the making.

While I understand WHY you would like to do what you are, its a stupid idea,
and at this point, ignorant.
