If you can find a nice one of these, in restorable condition for $5. Go for it!

David says it well. My thoughts after reading Blake's question:
For the most part I would think a 5 dollar saw that needs minimal cleaning from a yard sale is worth it. Right?
was to look at the handle. A saw with an uncomfortable handle is best left where it is. Leave them for the folks who want to paint a wall decoration.
