Aprilaire Dehumidifier Model 1710A - Working - Good Condition

Description

This is a used dehumidifier that I had in my encapsulated crawlspace for about 7-8 years. It worked great and kept the humidity at below 50%
year round. A couple of months ago it stopped working and started flashing red light codes. I immediately replaced it with a newer model Aprilaire.
I got the repair manual and started to diagnose this unit. The compressor was not kicking in and the flash pattern indicated that the most likely cause was that the large capacitor was bad. I bought a new capacitor and started to replace the old one when I found that one of the wire clips had become disconnect from the tab on the existing capacitor. I reattached the clip and tightened the connection to the tab and tested the dehumidifier. The compressor started properly and the dehumidifier started working just fine. I tested it  again this morning in my garage and within an hour it had dropped the humidity by 10% and produced almost a quart of water.
So now I have two dehumidifiers and an extra (brand new) capacitor.  I am selling the older dehumidifier and I will include the brand new capacitor that I never installed.
Aprilaire recommends this unit for basements and crawlspaces. This is from the Aprilaire website: "Model 1710A --
The air in your basement and crawlspace is the same air that's being breathed in your home's living spaces. Moist air is the perfect breeding ground for pests, airborne viruses, mold, and mildew.
Aprilaire Dehumidifiers are ideal for dehumidifying your whole home, basement, or sealed crawl space. Set up is easy and maintenance is low, with no messy trays to empty, and simple filter cleaning or replacement. "
This is a "tankless" dehumidifier that includes a hose connection so the water can be directed to a convenient drain or outside. The auction includes the dehumidifier, the drain/hose connector, the original owners manual, the repair manual and a brand new capacitor (Part Number 4955 - 55MF Capacitor). I do not have the original box or packing material.
I am listing this as local pickup, but if you want to arrange for a shipper to pick it up and deliver it to you, I will be happy to work with you.
Just to be clear I will not be able to ship this to you. Please do not ask me to take it to UPS/Fedex. If you want to arrange for a shipper, I will work with YOUR shipper to set up an appointment so he can pick up the dehumidifier and help them load it up, but if you want it to be shipped it's up to you.
It is pretty heavy weighing at about 93 pounds. The dimensions are
