I doubt that it’s a scammer. They usually operate differently. Unless they ask for a deposit before you drive over to check it out. Their best offer might end up to be way over $1000

If I was going to go check it out, I’d make sure to have a stack of $50’s and hundreds tucked away in the glove compartment if not in my wallet so I could close the deal quickly.

-Just an FYI post. A 1940's vintage may still be somewhat useful but almost certainly does NOT have a hardened bed. After 80 years of use I would expect the bed to have significant wear and not deserving the "excellent" condition description in the ad.

You never know, I've seen some of these that were barely used, and others that were used daily.

I had called about a small lathe within hours of it being listed for $300 a few years back. The seller said there were already multiple people ahead of me. Gotta be quick. Good luck. I hope it works out for someone here.

I hope one of you guys scores a “you ****” deal on a fine piece of old equipment.
