Only if he likes old iron, does not have to ship it, and has a motor lying
around!
Freight will run $100, a motor another $100, runs the price up to $350, plus
the time to rewire, new switch, and clean up. Not sure if it goes for good
deal status any more with a open stand Jet for ~$400, closed stand for
~$500. Did ok, but not great in my book.
It may be better quality than what you can buy in the sub $500 range, but
most of us would be plenty happy with a Grizzly for the same money.
Deals like this is why I bought my Jet 6" closed stand jointer. I shopped
for a used machine 2-3 years. Everything I found was overpriced, and/or
junk!

I agree he did real good, I'd say if it turns out to be in decent shape its
a *GLOAT*

Have you taken into account the history of J-Line before
coming up with this opinion?

I'm not sure I'd catalog this little tid-bit in the
"Irrefutable" file just yet.

Some motors can be wired for 208 or 220 by just changing some connections.
Don't know about this one.

Well, if your eBay user name is lazybakker1 then
congratulations.

Probably equal to a used Delta or a Powermatic but slightly
more than an Atlas.

Sorry, I can't speak for the group but personally I think
lazybakker1 did real good for himself.

It is hardly a gloat. If it turns out to have nothing more wrong with it
than a little surface rust it was a good buy. But, in all likelihood it
will be a nearly unusable POS. I have seen high school shop tools, but
never one they stopped using years ago but didn't bother to try to sell.
Argh.
It is a gamble, and I don't think it was a good one.
