I expected you to chime in with some interesting ones! BTW a T52 popped up on the Denver CL yesterday... $7250

Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.
Well, there is only one reason, I think it is cool.
To Bruce, if I had Jay Leno's money I would have a bandsaw AND car collection. There might be as many bandsaws as cars but then again every bandsaw (and other machine) I have ever remotely wanted could all be bought for the price of the first car I would buy with his money, a Ferrari 250 GTO, but since the last one sold for over 30 million I guess that alone would put a dent in even Jay's wallet!

F410 or equivalent with a Tersa head.
I have a bug to have another Volvo 240 wagon/5 speed lately that has been taking up more of my search time.
Van, there was a beautiful Oliver bandsaw for sale up here but I just did a search and it is gone. I have seen the saw, the fellow used to work for me and every once in a while he will put it on Craigs for a day or so when he is tight I guess, then take it off. If you are interested in such an animal I'll let you know next time it is on. He wants $3900, but it is awesome.

Greetings from NC!
Quest Machine for me? I've been looking for a vintage oscillating spindle sander for 3+ years now. If anyone has a lead on one, I'm not picky, needing restoration is okay. Here's a quick list of vintage makes, in no particular order: Oliver, Wysong & Myles, Porter-Cable, Boice-Crane, Max, State, Syracuse, Wonder, and Yates-American.
Anyone?

I know this is going to sound odd to a lot of you, but a Ryobi WDS1600 Cantilevered Wide Drum sander. It would of course have to be in mint, or as close as possible condition.
Not sure the year or the model, but I remember my Dad had this enormous cast iron bed, legged lathe from Rockwell when I was a kid. But then again, a new mustard monster would be fine too...
A Saw Stop 3HP PCS sold in good shape for a price I can afford would be in that quest too!
Trying to follow the example of the master...
I really, really, really want a WWII German Tiger tank....Do you have a "quest machine" or tool
I'd settle for a decent 14" bandsaw @ a resonable price though.
A delta Unidrill (like hen's teeth), and a grey Delta 14" bandsaw from the 40s or 50s. The bandsaw should be doable, eventually, but the unidrill is not the easiest item to find in ATL.
Best spindle sander ever, Kindt collins with all the spindles and throat plates- and less than 3K Dave
My quest is to have more shop time.
But I'd love to have an Oliver pattern maker's lathes with all the tooling. One of the big boys like a 20B.
Where did I put that tape measure...
