It's old and beat up, not much there except for the main components. And Shelburne Falls is near the edge of the earth. I don't know anyone who's been that far into northwest Massachusetts and ever returned alive.

We’ll, I’m going to get a t shirt that says “I went to the edge of the earth, survived AND made it back alive”

Correct, not much there drill chuck, couple of tables, but it runs for $50.00. Now to find something to use it for.

And now I can say I've heard of someone who went there and made it back alive.

Thanks for tip and post Ed…

Minneapolis/Saint Paul area a lightly neglected Mark V 520 with bandsaw for $345. Can't tell if it is from 98 or 08 based on the picture of the serial number. I'd go pick it up but I don't need nor have space for a third 520.

Clean looking 520 for sale with belt sander and strip sander. In central MA, not far from Springfield, so still in range of civilization.
Only $400! Looks like a deal.

Hang on, picture shows a 510 R label. So this was upgraded from something else. Looks like it has the full set of 520 tables. Still a good price.

Clean looking Mark V 500 in Dorchester, MA, just South of Boston. Not much shown with the machine. It's set up with the saw blade, and has a wheel for raising and lowering the table (on a model 500).

But it has the upgraded wheels. Be worth the drive just for those!

For $75 it's hard to go wrong.
