This was (is) my son's bought in 1984 - hasn't been used since probably 1988. Still runs. Now he's got a 9 yr old son who is fascinated by my CNC so I figured a scroll saw would test his interest to see if it was real. Now, is this one worth salvaging, I know it needs some parts if they're available, or should I just try and get a cheaper side new one to start out? And if so, what would be a good starter saw for the budget minded?

Back on Feb 26 I posted a question asking for comments on the DW788 ("Any comments on the DeWalt DW788 scroll saw?") I want to thank everyone for the many positive responses on this saw. At first I thought it was out of my budget, but I came across a special sale from one of the big box stores that saved me almost $200 off the list price, including shipping and sales tax. it arrived in-store last Friday and I picked it up on Sunday morning. It came basically pre-assembled except for the table (it weighs a ton - seems like maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the total weight of the saw !!!) and a couple bolts and thumbscrews. It's a dream compared to my old 16" Craftsman. I haven't had time to do more than a few basic tests cuts, but I can't wait to start on projects. Again, many thanks to "The Village People." Without your overwhelmingly positive comments I would never have gone ahead and purchased the DW788. Now if only I can find an old posting here for an easy to use script font for scrolling. -aj43

I have made a YouTube video covering the many changes I have done to my 5 scrollsaws to make myself and my students have a better scrolling experience. I hope that you can use a few of the changes on your saws, Video is at: https://youtu.be/bLLZKYoQt08

I was informed i over did it yesterday, so I got grounded today:( but I did get the piece cut, sanded, & stained for the project i started before went down. That piece is the bottom of the box.
