moderate use and wear (I replaced the motor bearings ($10) because they were
noisy), but it seems to be very solid and accurate. It comes with a very
sturdy open base but no other accessaries.

Can anyone give me an estimate on the value of this saw? His preliminary
asking price was $400, but that seemed kind of high for a saw of this age.

I just bought a 740 in great shape for $75

Stands to reason that the value of this saw would drop since the
original post was in 1997, 18 years ago.

LOL! Gotta wonder what would happen if somebody posted an ad from, say,
Woodworker's Supply from that era stating there was a sale on Bessey
clamps at five for $20 or something. Would they check the date before
heading out the door?

Probably via the scanner. But I wonder....Nah, I'd feel mighty guilty.

Probably not a bad saw, depends on condition. I've got a 7740.

New bearings and following a tuneup guide gave me the best running saw in
my shop. I only wish my SCMS cut as nicely.
