I'm looking for a Sag 12 (or something very similar in size/heft and features), and this one turned up 300 miles away.
It's dirty, lacks tooling, and the seller won't say much about it except that 'it runs'.
My gut feeling, despite a few doubts, is that it would clean up OK. I see original paint, no broken bits, and a compound showing no impact damage. I'm sure there'll be wear on the ways, but expect that.
The seller isn't going out of his way to oblige me, and the price (whether on or off fleabay) is firm at $3000, despite the 'obo'.
I'm prepared to take a moderate amount of risk, but maybe there's too little up-side here. What am I missing?
--thanks!
