I had a circa 1975 model of the RAS which remained in good working order in 2020. I thought about selling it and the price most people suggested was about $75. There's not much market for the RASs so I gave it a struggling contractor who had done some work on my house. It seemed like the better course since I got to feel good, he got a still useful saw, and I didn't have to go to the trouble of finding a buyer, showing it several times to lookyloos.

Probably spinning with joy.

What makes you think you'd get lookyloos for something that there isn't much market for? |

I'd give mine to anyone who asked, too. I have a couple of SCMSs that I'd like to get rid of. One is worth something (Bosch) but the other is a 10" HF special. It's not bad but it didn't cost much then ($100, IIRC). I'll probably use it for replacing the deck decking. If it rains, I've lost nothing. |

I saved my old Delta MS for cutting PT wood, metal and other crap. Keeps my Bosch Glide saw from getting beat up. The Delta lives out in the shed. |
