I would rarely use a scroll saw, but this one looks to be a good
deal. Google search doesn't provide very much info for a reasonable
value, but $75 isn't a lot of money for this name brand item.

Anyone have an idea of a reasonable value, though I'm thinking of
buying for the asking price?

I'd grab it at the price. Last time I saw one like that was many years
ago in our garage. About mid 1950's or so.

Got the scrool saw and the yet to be advertised Foley-Belsaw bandsaw
for $120, plus 19 red oak boards, 5/4 X 12" X 10', for $30.

Want to double your money? I'll give you $60 for the oak boards. You
can't do that good at the bank or in the stock market.

That was both the scroll saw (model 435) and bandsaw (model 480) for
$120. Seller is a young guy, not interested in woodworking. Was his
grandfather's (passed away) tools and lumber. I'll give the bandsaw
to a nephew, who'll likely inherit some of my other tools, as well. I
have no children.

Good deal! Wish I had something like that come up in my area. Saw a
Henger recently but they were asking too close to the new price to be
worth the clean up. All I see is tiny cheapos or really old broken
shop sizes that can't be repaired.

Had an opportunity to get a big shop Delta from my father-in-law but
after he died last march, stepmom cut everyone out and got rid of
everything, as long as it wasn't to family. /sigh .. She ran off with
my hydraulic jack, come-a-long and a few other tools that belonged to
my father. Don't you just hate family sometimes?

That's a great price for the wood. You suck..
How big is the bandsaw? Sounds like a good deal...

Enjoy.

It's a 14" with 7" clearance. Not big, but a good starter bandsaw.
It's pretty heavy and looks well made, so it's not a pansy bandsaw.
It's in good shape, no rust, still a good paint job, needs some
cleaning to make it shine. Here's a look: http://www.flickr.com/photos/43836144@N04/

I picked up the lumber this evening and some of it has powderpost
beetle holes. I didn't see any fresh dust, so hopefully no bugs are
in it. I just sprayed it and will let it sit overnight, sticker it
tomorrow to dry, before stacking it with the other lumber. Not seen
before, there were two 2X6 X 8' pieces of oak and what looks like two
redwood boards, 6' & 8', both 5/4 and 12" or better wide. He gave me
those, also.
