Dear friendly moderator; if I'm OT please move me.
Gear up for a potentially dumb thread . . .
I bought a hybrid saw and have a couple contractor saws to sell. The question is this: one Craftsman circa 1970 saw might be worth $100. But, I have added PALS, an Align-a-Rip fence, machined pulleys and link belt, upgraded switch and a mobile base. Most of these things are specific to the saw model and used might be worth another $250 - $300.
Would you strip the saw down to it's original configuration or try to sell it with all the add-ons? My concern is finding someone who understands the add-ons will limit my audience and if I strip it down, I'm stuck trying to piece out the goodies.
The second saw is a great old Craftsman circa 1950 saw with a nicer top and trunnions than I've seen on a lot of "real" saws on the market today. Street price on this guy seems to be around $75. I'd love to keep it for a cut-off sled saw but just don't have the room.
P.s. I'm in SoCal - Riverside area.
