I just bought a Delta Power Feeder, model 36-865 off craigslist. The reviews on the model are mixed, but for $35 it looks new, so I thought I'd take the gamble.239325

It's a small world! You might remember this post too then:

I bought it last week :) The scroll saw is really nice. I had to fix it once already though as Delta used bolts on the blade holder made of aluminum alloy and one snapped. I don't think the guy ever used the scroll saw...

Yeah, I know... It was hard to part with the $35 too :)

Yup, you can't replace one of the wheels on that thing for $35 so I'd say you did OK;)
As far as the reviews, it's all about what you want to do with it. However for $35 you'll find a decent use for it:D
good luck,

I have one of those on my router table. It works great for long runs when I am doing rail stile panel constructions. A little finnicky to set up and is not as stiff as a commercial feeder, but you certainly did well on the price.
