I tried sending you an email but am not sure if it got through as I got no response. Please email me at mccormick@activeworlds.com. Thanks JP McCormick

If you are lucky, you'd be able to remove the counter and replace it without breaking it. If it is granite, corian, that can be very difficult. At least several $100, if not $1000 or so assuming it doesn't break. Then if you are lucky you need one adjoining cabinet, maybe $500. Equally likely it is near a corner (since is it most likely next to a 36" or wider sink cabinet) and you also have to replace a complex corner cabinet. Now we may be looking at $1-2000 for cabinets, if they are still available and the ones in the kitchen haven't faded. Then you get to replace the unit.
Failure to continue some form of 12" compactor when there are thousands installed was just not a good policy.

This is a case where Broan should have retained at least one 12" sku. Sorry about all the bad news, I have to admit, it's been a while since I saw a 12" trash compactor. Hopefully a good carpenter or cabinet maker can advise you in a less expensive remedy for the cabinet problem.

You may want to try visiting your local appliance dealer(s) They may have access to older stock items or a floor display model that you may purchase. I have had good success in the past, when in similar situations. Good luck.
