Good luck!
These are pricey items in decent shape (around $100, sometimes more), and still go for a lot with cracks in them.

Wow I didn't know they were so rare. The one in my CRX was broken, so I just went down to the local Honda/Acura dealer and they had a stack in the back they were selling for $60 a piece.
But you might want to consider this

This is a common failure in gen 2 CRX's. The design of the climate control was stupid and the plastic would flex and crack. The climate control in my CRX was broken in half when I got it.
I thought the $100-$125 that an Ebay one cost was too much and tried to get a climate control out of a 95 (I think) Maxima to fit. It did fit well and looks fine in the car, but I had no idea how complicated the wiring is. If I'd had the wiring diagram for the Maxima it probably would have worked better, but without it I cannot recommend trying somthing like this. I tried reverse engineering the wiring, and I never got all the switches to be functional.
