Vintage Craftsman Table Saw, What's it Worth?

[pequeajim]

I have a Sears Craftsman table saw that my dad purchased some time in the 50s or 60s. I remember using it during the 60s for sure.

It has a plate on it with a number 103.200002

I am wondering what this might be worth, (if amything)

It is in perfect mechanical shape. The finish is light tan and is ok. I also have the guide and miter.

I would like to see someone get this who appreciates the time when Chraftsman made some really heavy duty quality tools.

I live in New Holland, PA (central PA)

Any help?

As far as I know, Craftsman tools were not sold in Oz, so it is unlikely that anyone on this Forum has any experience with one.

From all I have read, however, they are desirable tablesaws - "old but gold". The fence will likely need to be updated but the basic saw is probably worth holding onto.

Try a USA-based forum (such as Wood Central) for advice here.

Craftsman tools have just about the best warantee on the planet. you never get to use it though 'cause they never break. as witnessed by your dad's saw. ;)
