This baby needs to be rescued.

Found this and it hurts. I don't have room for another, otherwise, I would have it shipped to me and restore it. Anybody need one? I think the price is right.

My sentiments exactly!

Includes speed control and shaper/jointer.

This seller has been loading up Craigslist for the last several weeks. EVERY POST HEADLINE IS IN CAPS!!!! They first posted a picture they found of a 510 on the internet and claimed it was just like it and it sells for over $4000.

They posted 3 times yesterday and at least 2 to 3 times the day before. There is another thread about idiots on Ebay and I would say if you are picking it up, they may warrant a visit to see it first.

Here is the listing where they said it looks just like this.

Yep! He does appear to be a scam artist. But, I still think the machine is worth the asking price. I didn't see the footing/endcap for the left side. If I were into the 10ER, I would have it, restore it and use it. But I have an 83 model and an 84 model. Neither of my children are interested, but the grandson is.

Someone on here recently bought one of these to restore and he needed the speed control. Don't know how that is working out. Would love to see.
