Found a replacement caliper

Found one from S&S SAAB-Volvo in Warrenton, VA. $203 plus core. More expensive that eEuroparts, but, based on my experience with S&S, probably a very good quality rebuild. I chose to go with factory rebuilt because of previous bad experience trying to rebuild a set of calipers. I found out the hard way that if the secondary piston controlling the parking brake yoke is binding, the caliper must go to machine shop for a rebuild, and even then, prospects are iffy. Thanks to those who took the time to post advice.
