Wanted to say hi.
Left my rusty Mark V of 15 years behind in New York when I moved to Arizona, 3 years ago.
Thought I would get back into the sawdust and saw a Mark V yesterday at a garage sale, think it's a 1982 model. Paid $300 for it, it's in great shape, just going through the maintenance of cleaning and waxing, need to oil up the speed control.
Really sorry I sold off all my jigs and accessories, but that life.

farley, welcome to the forum and to sunny, hot Arizona.
Where in Arizona. I am in Tucson. Think about filling out at least part of your profile and we'll know where you are without asking. Of course you really don't have to answer but it's more fun if you do.
Who knows, we could be near neighbors.
Welcome to the fourm

Farley is luckier that you might think. He found that Mark V before I did or it would not be his.
