I bought my 24" excalibur a long time ago, probably in the 80's. It was advertised as the WORLD'S best scroll saw in Fine Woodworking magazine. I was very pleased with it, with how easily I could turn my workpiece at the tiniest of radius and with thick hardwoods. I cut multiple patterns of stacked woods at a bevel angle, so the interchanged pieces fit perfectly together. Great for marquetry.
But then came children, I was able to make a living as a woodworker as a single person, but with a family I suddenly found myself reading Fine Homebuilding instead. I put a crew together and built houses for the next 30 years. My woodworking tools sat idle for all this time. The only shop tools that came in handy were my Delta unisaw and a 12" cross cutting tilting mitersaw. I soon after retired and moved to a warmer state, moved my shop and found myself hiking, kayaking, and playing tennis. . I'm approaching 80, haven't touched my woodworking tools all this time and am now in the downsizing stage.
So my question is, what price should I put on my 24" excalibur scroll saw today. I probably paid $1000 back then, I realize there are many scroll saw manufactures today so the demand is less and it would sell for a whole lot less. I would appreciate some opinions on this before I list it. Thanks
