Sunday was a good day at the flea market. I got a few of things – and I didn’t spend a
whole lot of cash to get them.
One of the items is a Delta 15” Scroll Saw. This one is much nicer than the one I can now
put on Craigslist. The other saw has a
power take-off that has a flat sanding wheel attachment. I have a dedicated sander for that with a 1”
belt and disk so the one on the other saw is redundant. As is the saw itself now that I have the new
one. The Delta saw set me back all of
$20. I was at Lowe’s the other day and
saw a comparable new scroll saw for something like $189 and change, plus the Governors
share at 6.5%. The sales tax alone would
be more than half what I paid for my saw!
The other item of note is my new-to-me 50 channel portable
scanner. My old 200 channel scanner simply
wore out. Several buttons on the
keyboard stopped working and it became uncontrollable. We’ve been scannerless for several years as a
result. This new used one seems to work reasonably
well. And it cost me a whole bunch less
than my old (formerly) spiffy one!
Another thing I picked up, for all of $2, is a nicer vintage
Osterizer Cyclomatic blender than the newer 2-speed beehive one we make our breakfast
smoothies with. Our light-weight plastic
cans fit the new one and it’s got ten speeds and two modes to use them in! Now
if I could just find a manual for it…
