    I was going to pass, but then I saw "new blades". ...waiting on a tracking number now!

    Always include a screenshot when linking to Craigslist, as it's famous (infamous) for not saving copies of its ads. A hot item like the one here that will sell quickly could be deleted in hours.

    I say that sarcastically, but for $250...why not?

    If you want a band saw in matching "paint" the same person has one for sale as well.

    And sandblasting and solvent to clean up the WD40 and bearings and elbow grease and electrical and paint and....
    What a shame to let it go this far.

    LOL oh Craigslist. The crap people try and peddle on there and the prices they dare list it for never ceases to amaze me.
    If at first you don't succeed, redefine success!

    Do they sell WD-40 in 55 gallon drums?

    Nothing is idiot-proof for a sufficiently ingenious idiot!

    They do. Looks like you'll need a tanker of WD-40 to clean up that mess.

    That might just be the rustiest item in all of Arizona. Must have been put out there like 80 years ago to get that much rust in the desert. I'd offer him 100 bucks if he delivers to GA. Might would be a fun project

    I didn't know that the boating industry was so popular in Arizona, that someone would be selling a boat anchor.

    If anyone buys something this rusty I strongly suggest finding Zep Zepreserve instead of wasting time with WD-40.

    C'mon now.........the seller said it works. Take a board with you and go see how well it runs! Might be worth your while!

    Joe, get yourself a tetanus shot and a wire wheel grinder and you could do an amazing restoration on that machine. A real labor of love ..
