Craigslist SCORE

Like a kid at Christmas. I know,I know. No pictures,did not happen,well I still cant believe it either. Posting pictures is out of my computer comfort zone. Anyway,came home with a BRAND NEW Craftsman block grinder, 397.19340 model and a never even opened tool holder 19595. The grinder was taken out of the original box for the craigslist picture. Hardware package, never opened. Near as I can tell,Sears wrapped the lamp reflector in newspaper, so as not to scratch the shade ? Date was May of 1977. Out of respect to the Ol girl I assembled it with Craftsman tools I am almost afraid to get it dirty. Boy it sure looks nice sitting on the bench. And before anyone asks, I felt good giving the man 70$.

I'll take your word for it. 10 years ago I my dad found a brand new 1 hp block with stand in the box, I think he gave $50 for it. Very nice grinder.

Its always neat to find stuff with the original packaging.
Sounds like a cool setup but you realize how much we're going to dog you until we
see PICTURES !

That's cool. I'll add to the "Pictures!!!" chorus.

Oddly, I saw this Craigslist ad today:

My friends say I am E-tarded. Or electronically challenged, only with this here HIGH TECH stuff. Give me a schematic and my trusty Fluke, and well go to town. Now on this computer stuff, all I know how to do is hunt & peck and surf like a MOFO
