I saw these for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Great deal if you need them and live nearby.
Edit: I just Googled the location and they are about 45 minutes from my house. If anyone needs these, let me know and I can pick them up and mail them to you.

Very clean 520 with Bandsaw, said it has Jointer but no photo
If you've ever priced just a 520 table upgrade, there is value here. I am full up or I might make them an offer since it is so clean.

Not really a bargain as this Speed Changer is broken:

The interesting part is the numbers plate goes to 8 instead of 5 like most of the ones I see.

Yes, waaaay over priced for one that is broken.
The early ones were numbered 1-8, but I don't believe all the higher numbers were actually achievable.
The design was changed slightly fairly early on, (a wider sleeve was added to the floating sheave to prevent the belts from rubbing on the shaft) and the number plate was changed to 1-5 at that time.
