Too bad it's local pick-up only... unless you take it up with the seller and give him your zip code to find out how much it will cost to ship the item to your destination. Black & Decker 3051 Anyway, this machine from the 1970s still has its original box. ~Ben

http://tinyurl.com/Skilsaw866 Another Skilsaw rarity: a circa 1982 model 866 Super Duty 6-1/2" circular saw, with original box. Note that the blade guards are pure polished chrome instead of silver paint. ~Ben (BDFan1981)

http://tinyurl.com/morp76p What do you think of this NOS/NIB 1983 Skilsaw model 55935 7-1/4" circular saw? It was Skil's finest non-industrial circular saw at the time. Box has never been opened for 30 years. Date code says: 3HKU25 ("KU" is July 1983 date of mfg.) This was a special edition...

Here's a trio of Skilsaw 77s on eBay that all appear to date from the mid '70s: Type 15, Serial #G462963: Skilsaw 77 (1) (this was one of the first Type 15 Skilsaws ever made, circa 1976) Type 14, Serial #H80371: Skilsaw 77 (2) Skil, in this case, seemed to play around with serial #s, as the...

I'm wondering if, if I were to choose between these two Black & Decker units, the model 9530 8" random orbit polisher or the 9537 6" sander/polisher (the latter w/o random orbit action), which of the two would you choose if you were to polish aluminum parts, like the kind used on Kirby vacuum...

BLACK & DECKER CIRCULAR SAW This circa 1970 SAWCAT, presumably a 6-1/2" size blade unit, has no guard or shoe on it. So, I can't be sure of the exact model #, although guessing by the blade size I'd think it's a model 3015 (formerly 986). ~Ben

Circa 1978 Skilsaw 553 Now, taking a look at this circa 1978 Skilsaw 553 on eBay, not only is the cord all rutty, but so too is the decal (you cannot even see the type #). Not to mention the lower guard is also missing. Are there any of you on here which has a 553 of similar vintage (c...

Skilsaw 825 Is it true that some people had spray-painted the plastic grip on saws of this vintage (1976-1984)? ~Ben

How many of you own a morass of all-metal worm-drive saws? The last of this breed of tools was produced by Skil in 1975 in the form of model 77 type 14, model 367 type 6 and model 825 type 12. Black & Decker first put plastic handles on its line of worm-drivers in the mid-'60s (models 976, 977...
