My next boo boo wasn't as expensive if it doesn't work out, but still... another CL ad showed a treadle base for an unknown brand of head, for $12. I whisked off an email, saying I'll give you $20 (I drive a hard bargain!
) They replied, I popped over, gave em a Jackson, and loaded er up, telling myself what a sweet deal that was. When I got to the recycle yard where he said he donated the head, (and it wasn't there anymore) I noticed the base had wire wrapped around the leg, or was it 2? the cast iron had been broken.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]485485[/ATTACH] Just due to the relief cut at the left end. upside down photo, sorry Joe. It came with 4 drawers in need of some work. [ATTACH=CONFIG]485486[/ATTACH]Thems the breaks! Lesson being, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably
IS!"
