As David said,

it isn't a Mark 7, and you can't really tell what you're getting from the pictures. But at least a 505 with PowerPro, Belt Sander, and Jointer and all looks to be in good condition.

The value of it is hyped up especially since it isn't a Mark 7, but a Power Pro upgraded Mark V 505 as best can be seen. Still cheaper than a Power Pro Headstock.

The ad does list a free shipping option, but I doubt he would honor that. Would likely try to cancel the sale and you would have to get a refund back.

Clearly not a Mark 7, but what indication is there that it's a 505 instead of a 510?

No floating tables?

I was thinking that but the main and extension tables have the locking mechanism for connector tubes.

I didn't know 505's didn't have the locks, but I find that sometimes it's overly optimistic to even assume you'll get what is in the pictures. We could have another whole forum section on ebay sellers... I did email this seller, he is not shipping it and doesn't know how to fix the ad. I suggested ebay CS, but that's a patience test.

Nor did I. I assumed the difference between them was whether or not the tables got put in the box!

Hi There,
I am looking for interested enthusiasts in Australia as I am not able to relocate these two machines up to Queensland where I have just moved
They are in storage at the moment but wont be for long and I believe they are too good to go to waste

Maybe the opposite of a bargain??

. It didn’t sell last year when they asked $1900 for it - strange approach to pricing for sure…

Ed, David and HopefulSSer,

The 2006 Model 505 I bought a few years ago did have the locks installed on the Main and Extension Tables even though it had no Floating Tables and related parts. Simply ready to go for that 510 upgrade.

John,

Not a bargain but an interesting display model at 15" W x 12" D x 20" H.

Never did and still do not understand what that thing did or how it is supposed to perform useful function(s).
