You convinced me. I'll pass. Maybe 20 or so years ago I may have attempted to rebuild a saw, not anymore. 

I just might take a good look at the King 16" scroll saw over at Woodcraft. Seems to be a solid machine. Yes, it's more money.  I really need a smaller saw for the small space I am going to set up for. Plus, I just can't haul those larger saws around anymore. I just may put my 9 year old, like new EX 21 for sale on our local Craigslist..  Thanks for your input Kevin

I have the king Excelsior 21 and I love it.

Bushton / RBI also sells a table top legs set.. Think the legs are only about 8" tall, LOL.. I've seen them but not 100% sure they still sell them..

EXCALIBUR 16" Scroll Saw - 1.3A Variable Speed  EX16

I believe it is made in Taiwan.

I saw it on Amazon for $499.00 plus tax and free shipping.

I have a 21 EX that is about 9 years old and works just fine.

Its a China made saw.  I would avoid it.  You can get a chinese wen for less.  They have a new model that is a parallel link drive for $370.  If you want a 16” try to get a new King or an older Excalibur.
