Assembled they just fit into my pickup's 6 foot bed. The machine is heavier than a standard Mark V because of the cast iron. However, it can easily be disassembled into manageable pieces in very little time. You should plan on two people if you do not want to partially disassemble.

I just want to let everyone know that I picked this up this afternoon. I was amazed at the shap it was in. There is not one speck of rust on it and there are no scratches. It has been lightly oiled to protect it. The person that had it bought it at an estate sale so he was the second owner and he said all he ever used it for was to mix ink for his screen print business. It has all the paperwork that came with the saw new and said the bill of sale from the first owner was in one of the books. It took me about 15 or 20 minutes to take it apart and I was on my way home. Once the oil is cleaned off it and with a little wax it will look like new. My thanks to everyone that that answered on how to take it apart. I forgot about 1 allen wrench is all it took to take it apart.

Great deal and nice to see if stay in the "SS Family". I'm always amazed that folks list items like this on E-Bay to begin with, especially with "local pickup only" - seems like CraigsList would be a better way to go.

I knew it would work out when I placed the winning bid. My Wife said "you bought WHAT and it is WHERE?" She was fine when I explained to her I had bought it for a FRIEND.

THANK YOU ALL for making me feel this way.:)

I too would like to see pictures.

I love it when a plan comes together;)

Merry Christmas to all

Do I detect a Col. Hannibal Smith quote up there? :D

Doug, that has to be one of the nicest, gutsy things I've seen here. You went out on a limb, to get an ER for someone you didn't even know. Had NO IDEA who was going to get this.

You also saved a GREAT machine from the dump! (Sorry guys, IMHO the ER is the best of the bunch.)

Oh guys, if you have a decent car, and don't want the base table lumber, you can haul one of these. I'm pretty sure, that disassembled, it will fit in my friend's Neon. The way tubes would be the only hard parts to fit in.

THANKS, Doug!
