I've got a line on an older Leigh TD-514-L dovetail jig. I've never owned a dovetail jig. I have downloaded what info Leigh has on this jig (instructions & parts list). I'm going to see it tomorrow. I'll take the parts diag and list with me in an effort to see if it's missing any major parts. The older gentlemen selling it said he's selling it for an old friend (his comment "old like me"). He doesn't know much of anything about it. Said he does have a bag of some parts.
I've included two pics (only one of which is of much help). It doesn't appear to have been used hard or abused from the photo. I can already see from comparing parts diag & list to the pic there are only 26 fingers, there should be 28 (14 left & 14 right) but these are fairly cheap to replace if needed. I also called Leigh and they have parts even for this older jig.
Anything I should be sure to check or be wary of? Just out of my element here and want to make a good decision rather than buying because I've been wanting one of these for years but have felt they were too expensive for the amount of use it'll probably get. Thanks for any advice or knowledge you guys can provide!
Mike
