I was looking at parts diagram for a 2002 Unisaw. snip
It just takes one other person to makes an auction difficult, and he
was there (he probably thinking the same thing)! We had to go from
$500 to $1050 before I convinced this person I was pretty serious
about getting a saw! And that's the dollar amount I payed--$1050+10%
+7% (sales tax), in case anyone is curious. I felt like I didn't
want to do any more saw shopping--and this one was only about 5 miles
from home--so I thought beforehand that it wasn't going to get any
easier. I met a kind person who helped me get the saw home on his
trailer--I had talked with him for 10 or 15 minutes before they got
to auctioning the machinery. While I was collecting parts in a
plastic garbage bag that I brought with me for the occasion, he asked
me if I needed any help moving the saw. And I said yes, please. And
he said, where's your truck. And I said, I don't have a truck. Can
we put in in yours?--I said I live close by and I will be glad to
give you $100 to help me. His trailer featured a hand-powered
winch-which was handy pulling it up and letting it down some
improvised ramps. He did a lot of work though, securing the saw. He
got he out of a "tough jam". I thanked him and tried to hand him
$100, buy him a tank or two of gas, etc. but he would only take $5
for gas. A nice guy who made a real difference, like many of you
folks.

Great day Bill!
