Have found a Powermatic Scrollsaw (mustard) For a C-note. I tried looking it up on PM's site and it is no longer listed, so should I get it or not? Looks good,runs needs cleaning but? HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL !!!

Do you know a model number? I have one labeled Model 93 I bought at a garage sale for $15 when I was first getting into woodworking. It doesn't run all that smooth but it does seem to be heavy duty. I'm not sure if the smoothness issue is just matter of making adjustments or not as I really don't use it much. One nice thing is that it takes the blades that have a cross pin on each end, which are easy to find. There are also little adapter blocks to use the straight blades (I'm probably butchering terms here) but I'm missing one of them. Sears sells a kit with the adapter blocks that look just like mine.

No I do not know the Mod#. I'll have a look at it on Fri. The gentleman says it runs well and so???? Thanks for the input
