Shopsmith

I have a chance to buy a shopsmith power station for a $100.00. It has the scroll saw attachment on it. Is this a good and fair price. Any feedback will be appreciated. It looks like it's in good condition.

If I had that opportunity, I would buy it. The power station motor alone is worth that much.

I have bought 2 of those Power Station/Scroll Saw combinations and the cheapest was $130.00 which I thought was an extremely good deal. I called on it the minute I saw it. Even the first set I bought at $225 was a great deal. I should add they were all in good working order. So unless both the Power Station and Scroll Saw are Junkers I would go for it.

As Dusty said,
The power station motor alone is worth that much.
A new Power Station motor is currently over $300.
