I just bought a KT76 for 150 and sent it off to transponderrepair.com which cost

There are two transponders like that on ebay for $500 and
I can give you some figures on the transponder. I paid $600 for mine in
2006 which included an ACK-30 encoder. I just had to replace the ARC
transponder in a Cavalier. It needed a sign-off and wouldn't pass the
test so had the shop replace it with a used KT-76A. $1054 included
