I joined years ago, but have been busy moving and such.
So anyway, last week I hit quite an incredible score at a local school system auction.
I picked up a 12" Craftsman Commercial for $100, and a 618 for $125 with what looks to be a full set of change gears.
Both had only seen school use, and the wear is almost nonexistent. Lots of surface rust from storage, but I expect that will be a fairly easy cleanup.
