It's a darra James 218


I bought it so that my little grand daughters might have a relatively safe machine to learn  on. But no use has been made of it.  I am not a scroller. 



It is this  machine http://vintagemachinery.org/photoindex/detail.aspx?id=3943


Nothing is missing, everything works.  I replaced the gasket on the gear box. 



What would you  think the price point should be?



Cliff,


The prices on these type machines are all over the place, and vary with location, condition, etc.


To a collector of Darra James equipment it would be worth more than the novice buyer would be willing to pay.


A good place to see what it may go for would be ebay. Watch what similar machines are going for.


You can always start high with your asking price, and come down from that.

To a collector of Darra James equipment

I wonder how one finds such a person.   Just put an ad on   CL or flea  bay?

On the OWW site I see an old craftsman for $300.  Maybe I should ask $500 given as how I'm so special and all.

i'd pay 200.00 but for her i'd go get a ridgid scroll saw to start out on
