Is this a good deal for a jointer? Help me pick a used 8''.

Is this the grizzly version?
If you use dust collection make sure the dust chute is not wide open on the top for a massive air leak. For now tape a piece of cardboard on the bottom of the dust chute so it sticks out 2 inches so it falls into, not next to, a collection box. I hold mine on with big magnet inside the box.

I'm not sure. Grizzly probably sold it in the early 2000s alike many other brands (eg. JET, STAR, KING etc.). It's a CT-200.

I think this is your jointer manual.
If it is like my delta the tables do not come off all the way without unbolting the main feed nut. (Part 28) Too much hassle to remove and I doubt I could reinstall them while holding up all that weight. I just ran mine end to end while cleaning and squirting in cleaning fluid. Use a pipe cleaner, tooth brushes and a gun cleaning brush.
If you can remove them soak in EDTA to remove rust.
