Now, 50 years later, I just bought a 1985 Mark V with bandsaw and joiner for $400...I may have gotten a deal
I have a full shop with a full-sized tablesaw, thickness planer, router table, sliding mitre, scrollsaw and dust collector. Now I have added a drill press, lathe, bandsaw and joiner for half the price of a good contractor's tablesaw!
Oh, and I have one VERY important feature necessary to these endeavors:
A lovely and supportive Wife!
Forgive the brag list but it's been a great weekend.
