Put this under the "It never hurts to ask" category.

It was listed for $100 and I sent a message saying "I hoped you got your asking price, but if you do not, would you consider an offer of $50 cash?.

1 week later I get a reply "Yes, I will take $50" That's it. the whole message.

I picked it up Saturday am.

Kinda gross but definitely salvageable.

Notice the WEIRD top tension someone cobbled together in it's past...

The hole for the tension disks is twice the diameter of the screw being used as a post.

It was functional but ewwww..

(BTW - I am not saying who did this modification, but it came with a photocopy of the manual with a green card attached thanking the buyer for purchasing from Tias, they may have just bought a manual not the machine itself)
