I picked up a Delta 37-285 Jointer on craigslist for $75....
hmmmm.... I think I forgot to *gloat* about that. :-)

It works great, as far as the motor, cutters, table, and all that go.

The problem is in the adjustable fence. The parts that make it
adjustable are made of that pot-metal that they used for the longest
time. You can see in the following lousy picture that they have cracked.

Found a new fence assembly on ebay for 20 bucks that is used on Delta's
newer jointers and disc sanders.

With a couple mods, it works very nicely.
