I believe I know the answer, but, is it worth it?

I would be tempted to look closer. IITC, this model is one of the last
Delta's made in the USA. Might want to do a little research on that.

That, along with the mobile base and riser, certainly make it worth
considering, especially if you can talk down the price a bit.

Don't let anyone **** on your parade if you're looking for an
affordable, used 14" bandsaw. This one, if it is indeed "made in USA",
and with a few tweaks, would likely do whatever the average woodworker
would ask of it.
