LOL! Gotta wonder what would happen if somebody posted an ad from, say, Woodworker's Supply from that era stating there was a sale on Bessey clamps at five for $20 or something. Would they check the date before heading out the door?

Probably via the scanner. But I wonder....Nah, I'd feel mighty guilty. :)

Probably not a bad saw, depends on condition. I've got a 7740.

New bearings and following a tuneup guide gave me the best running saw in my shop. I only wish my SCMS cut as nicely.
