I've found one for sale locally less than $100, including an extra set of
knives.

I read from various reviews that knife setup can be somewhat of a pain.

I currently either use by Delta 13" planer or router table, with the outfeed
fence shimmed forward.

ThankX,
Ron

Sounds like a pretty good deal, but take a straight edge to make sure
the tables aren't bowed. If they are straight, you should find it has
enough adjustment to align everything to your satisfaction with some
patience.

I bought a used one for a bit more and managed to get the tables
aligned to within a few thousandths after some experimentation with
the infeed gib screws. With a good straight edge, dial calipers and a
feeler gage you'll be able to do just fine for a 6" jointer.

Also, with your straight-edge and a machinist square, make sure the fence
is straight and not twisted. I had a 37-190 a number of years ago; the
fence was twisted greater than 1/32". Made getting a jointable surface a
bit of a challenge.
