Serial #147061
Several shaper cutters and spacers missed the photo shoot.
I thought this was a deal I couldn't pass up. My main objective was to acquire the most bang for the buck and I had not seen this many SPT's for this price since looking on CL.
The price was listed at $1250.00, I offered $900 and he accepted. Made me wonder if I could have offered less.
I did have to drive about 300 miles or so to Florida to pick up, but I think it was worth it.
The pics kind of hide the rust. It's not horrible, but most surfaces have some amount of rust.
I'm sure I'll need to go through all the SPT's and headstock to bring things up to par. Headstock works, but no idea on maintenance done.
So, my question is, how do you all think I did???
My next objective is to purchase a new Mark 7 machine and then sell this base machine quick.....well hopefully quick and real cheap ( I suppose the cheaper the quicker huh?):D
Just don't have room for 2 machines.
A SS demo is in my area in 2 weeks:)
What do you all think about this plan?
Wondering if I should use this machine for a couple years to get acclimated to the ShopSmith way before diving headlong into the ultimate setup.
Maybe by then, will also have a better idea about the durability of the new PP after a few units will have some years under their belts.
Of course by then, prices will undoubtedly be higher, but maybe not that much higher.
