Lost Opportunity?

I found my second unit on eBay without any bids. Since it was a local seller, I called him and he told me he was not committed to eBay and when the time ran out, I offered him less which he gladly took. But, since he is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and wanted to clean up his stuff so his wife would not have to, I bought some more stuff and paid him some extra. Sadly, all the other interested parties had no idea what they were looking at and he gave tours and answered many question. When I walked in and saw that the unit was just as pictured, I was happy. I began taking it apart to put on the truck and the seller was surprised. He is happy that I understood the machine and how it worked. In 10 minutes it was loaded on the truck and he stood there a little suprised. Loaded it by myself. But, he didn't have any bids and when it expired, he still wanted to sell it.

WOW!!! That one has a speed changer floating sheave from a model 10E/10ER. There are some folks around here looking for one of those.

Rob, I noticed that also, if someone got this at least they know how to get part of their money back. You don't see many of them floating around.

OK, I'll show my ignorance. What is it that you are speaking of?

if you look in the bottom center of the picture you will see what looks like a double pulley. This is the floating sheave for the 10 er speedchanger, very had to get and also not cheap if you need one.
Hope this helps

Thanks.

I was considering that one, as I will be camping not far from there this summer. I decided against it after seeing that they wanted it gone by May 10; I figured there was not much chance of them holding it for me. Oh well, I ended up with another that was even closer to me and came with a 510 table upgrade, bandsaw, and a power station. I'm hoping to turn either the new one or my old one into a mini. I'm not sure what to do with the power station at this point (although I'm sure everyone would have some great suggestions

)

Band saw + Power Station = stand alone bandsaw with 'extra options'!

The MKV I got this week had the bandsaw and the stand alone power station, When I walked in and saw that I thought this is a great deal then the lady said he husband want to keep that and it did not go with it. So I thought I would pass and she said some more parts in attic. That was when she showed me the 6 x 28 sander, jig saw, and jointer then the deal was on again. Should would have liked that bandsaw and power station though.
So you will put it to good use. Don't worry.
