Wow, that's great.
I did once have a lucky find. At the time, I couldn't afford much of anything, but needed a drill press. The local classifieds listed a Craftsman floor model at a nearby inner city address. I called the guy and he said it didn't work right, but was in good condition. Jumped in the car and it was in his basement shop of a doctor's office. Brand new, still in the cosmolene, and it didn't drill right because it ran backwards. I offered all I had...$150.00 and he said great, thanks. As you may know, most Craftsman motors reverse by switching the 2 yellow wires. When I switched them, it ran right, and still does, twenty years later.
