Vintage Craftsman scroll saw - $75 (Lees Summit)

Up for sale today is a gently used Craftsman 18 scroll saw.
It is cast iron and built like a tank.
It was made by King Seeley for Sears in the 50's.
The only issue was a bit of slack in the table trunions.
Made a new part and it is again solid.
I cleaned the grime and sawdust off and checked the bearing, oil level and operation.
Nothing broken here.
It has been well treated and includes a belt and a Delco 1/3 hp AC motor and pulley along with a pack of blades.
I have found in using scroll saws, even new ones, that having upper and lower blade guides like a bandsaw are extremely helpful.
The trend today is eliminate them but for accurate sawing, they are a must.
This old girl has them both!! You can see the uppers in the picture along with the hold down.
A better way to go.
