That my friend is the luck of the draw.
Big warning about buying and selling on here and it stresses "caveat emptor".. buyer beware.That is why you should deal with sellers that have a real GOOD Itrader feedback.
Did you pick it up?..
EBay doesn't guarantee stuff either But I'd rather still deal with guys off of here than that place.

Either you have been Reading or someone gave you a Bit of good info.The holes to mount the panel are different if you use it on the original assembly so you have to work on that.
I can't remember about the actual assembly though.

In the meantime,Why not just for Kicks,put up a WTB ad in both the WTB section and Section Gen Parts for sale section.
You may as well expand your search seeing you are on the Forum posting about it,instead of getting flustered.
..right????
