Phantom Scroller Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I've got one of those with a burnt out motor in my shed free to a good home collection only. :lol: Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Very nice. $20 and a beer, well worth it. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Well done. Always nice to hear about a deal. And just think once you get it cleaned up you can have a beer and admire your work Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McDonald Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Takes me back. That was my first saw. Bought it like new in a pawn shop of $90 and cut a bunch of Pinewood Derby cars on it and taught myself a lot about cutting. Kept throwing parts at it as they wore until I could not get a blower for it and then disassembled the thing--gave some parts to the high school for their 2-speed model and I still have the motor in the shed. Was going to make a sander out of it, but haven't gotten around to it. So, if you need a 117VAC motor--it's yours for the shipping cost.

If you go on a spring cleaning craze and start tossing stuff, let me know first. Russ, ROFL, I alternate between Coors and Coors Light so both are in stock usually. Long Necks of course. Mom bought a new refrigerator back in '61 when we came back from being stationed overseas, it still works and is now the refreshment refrigerator out in the garage. Turns out my buddy is buying storage units, he got one for $100 and the scroll saw was in it. AK Moose Nugget 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevan Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) I had a Delta that was close to that model. Never did any real scrolling with it. I think I just used it to trim tricky pieces when I put in the engineered hardwood floor in the kitchen. I was able to sell it for $65 (plus a magnifying light and a foot switch). Apologies for the upside down serial number. It's a model SS200, Type 1. Edited March 14, 2017 by stevan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
