Is this a reasonably good deal?
I'd say ok deal. Try and talk them down. You could get a older 500 and make it into a shorty for a tiny bit more, and have more versatility.

I paid $100 for the same thing and the band saw this past fall. I know market areas can be different, but around here just a SS band saw usually goes for 125-175 when you can find one for sale separately which is rare.

This 510 has been on Craigslist for 23 days so it could probably be had for less than the hoped for price. Band saw, strip sander and disk sander not pictured. http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/tls/5361397726.html

Is this really a Mark VII? If so in what configuration? And excellent condition? Something looks very odd to me.

Old mark vii. Interesting find of he will take a low offer. Not the same SS a Mark 7 (power pro). It's a neat machine worth a small investment.
