This just followed me home. Literally. I had no room in my car, and the guy I bought it from delivered it. Only about 2 blocks away. It was in his front yard with some other stuff.
I first saw 1 of these about 30 years ago and thought it was just a great tool. All it needs is some lubrication, maybe align the fence. It has a metal cutting blade now, for aluminum. He said it's been stored for the last 5 years.
I don't see anything broke, appears to be complete. I'm calling it very good condition.
I told the guy I don't need it but I'm buying it anyway. $130. And I'm a happy guy.

Back when when I first saw one of these, woodworking for me was plywood and 2x4's. I was impressed, all I had used was a handheld circular saw. I like it just as much as I did back then. I might even use it. I'm sure y'all that buy handplanes or whatever, when you already have too many, will get it.
Yes, that RAS is a 1959 DeWalt 925, 3/4 hp. It's a good one. $50 from craigslist, maybe 10 years ago.
