Startrite 352 for £100. Worth a look?

[flanajb]

A local chap is selling a Startrite 352 machine and he wants £100 for it. Just wondered whether this is a good machine?

Thanks

Yes and for £100 very cheap?

Thanks Rod.

I must add that it is 20 years old, but I suppose most parts that wear can be replaced if need be without huge expense?

Have a look on auction sites..... not ebay..... I paid £200 for a 3 year old 352sb.

Do you have a link as I only know of ebay and stuff goes for so much money. £200 for a 3 yr old sb is a great deal, considering they are £1100 new

PLaces like bidspotter, which is just a main link to all the auction houses.

Great bit of kit and an absolute snip at £100. Buy it you will not regret it, of that I'm very, very sure. Bits can still be had as needed from http://www.altsawsandspares.co.uk/

Is it me ..... most of the auctions seem to be N American?

Silly me .... I just googled it when I saw your first mention of this site and ended up on the North American one. Many thanks.

I got a really old Startrite recently - it's 40 years old and it's definitely worth it! They are superbly built and probably the old ones more so than maybe the newest. I've not seen the new ones though.
