Mark V thoughts

Dusty, don't read this.
you either JB41339

looking for a little confirmation here.

this is a little older than I wanted, but all I want to do is cut it up to a shorty and put a bandsaw and beltsander on it.

I wouldn't pay $250.

I don't know anything more, even if it runs yet. but at face value, it looks worth it.

TIAValue is in the eyes of the purchaser. If it looks good to you, then its good. I would probably offer the seller $150 max. That would depend upon how well it runs.

P.S. Interesting that the manual is for a Mark V not a greenie version.

It is a later model Greenie(gilmer drive). All the basic stuff seems to be there except the access hole cover.

That may be an indicator that the drive system should be checked thoroughly.

after look further, I didn't realize the age of it (greenie) I am not sure I want it, but I'll keep an open mind.

Having walked away from several, I would say look at it at least. I use the Nick's check list off the SS Sawdust sessions. I have seen some that looked real good, but had massive damage inside. Some of these were priced with some sentimental issues!
