I just picked up a Dewalt DW788 scroll saw today off of Craigslist and wanted to see if I could track down the vintage. The seller really did not know what they had or much about the saw, and I picked it up for $75 (But I had to drive almost 300 miles round trip to pick it up so I am actaully looking at about $100 total including gas). The saw came with a stand, worklight, and stool. The only things that I can see wrong with it is the hold down is missing (which I never use anyway) and the table needs work as it has been setting under an open car port for some time. I got it home tonight and put a blade in it and fired it up and it cut as good as the one I have in my shop right now. I remember finding a site a while back that broke down the location where it was manufactured (Canadian of overseas) by serial number, but I can't seem to locate it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I think that I got a pretty good deal, and was just curious about how old it is....
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide...
