Got it for $7.50 sooooooooooooo excited when a repo sales for around $249.
I bought one of the poorly made repro tables made in China; for $150, not worth $30 let alone the price I paid.
It looked good...however the legs were wobbly and the machine hole had to be sanded down a bit so that the machine would fit right. It later became the donor for 2 leg springs and the insert for the $5 FW table that I bought later on.
