Most times, I'm usually too late or they're asking a ridiculous amount of money for a hacked up pile of rust. As usual, I searched Craigslist over this mornings coffee & found this little gem. The fellow had it listed for $65. It is very clean & in very good shape. It came with the original chuck key, wrench for adjusting the belt tension, brochure & manual. It apppears to be the original belt also. It was covered with a light coat of grease. I will clean her up when I'm back up to speed. The only thing I noticed missing was the pc of trim that goes below the Craftsman tag on top. My son had to make some room in the garage but here she be with a light film of grease:

Damn sweet for $65 bucks... Harbor Freight charges $45 on sale for a piece of cheese.!!! Maybe never heard the story of "a piece of cheese." My son worked at an auto shop, had one employee, from Peruvian descent... Any time he was working on a car that he thought was a piece of:poop: Then he'd say, " It's a piece of shheeets." Hence the piece of cheese story. You could have bought a much lesser quality machine from Harbor Freight for the same money!! A piece of cheese!!:bounce:
