Feedback Please: I have a chance to buy a Delta p-20

[pmpagano]

I found a delta P-20 for sale.
Any opinions on this machine?
It will cost me about 200 bucks, and it is 6-8 years old, but seems to be in good condition. Assuming all is well with the machine, has anyone used this machine? any feedback?

Have had my P-20 for 8 years with no problems. I believe it is one of the best scroll saws ever made. Heavy industrial type saw. The only problem will be getting parts for it as Delta no longer makes them.

"The only problem will be getting parts for it as Delta no longer makes them". That should be a good reasen not to buy it.

is this the same as a 40-680

is the p-20 the same as the 40-680?
if so I found this on the delta site about parts

http://servicenet.deltamachinery.com/Products/Detail?productNumber=40-680

before I buy this saw, please let me know if this seems the right thing.
many parts are available according to this.

40-680 is the model number of the P-20.
