Craftsman 1/2 Belt Grinder on Craigslist.

[TheOTBalisong]

I found a Craftsman 1/2 4 x 42 Grinder on Craigslist and was wondering if it was worth picking up.
I realize the Craftsman models have never been favored among the knife making community as a worthy Knife Making grinder,
But I'm specifically looking for info on whether this is a good deal or not.

It's being sold for 75$.
I assume it's one of the older models?
How does it compare to the current Craftsman model?

Thanks in advanced,
Alex.

i have one.bought a couple of years ago.i have no experience withe 2X72 belt sanders,which are expensive. however, for the hobbyist
who mostly wants to get his feet wet b-4 jumping into the deep end,the craftsman is a good entry level belt sander. anyway,that's my story and i'm sticking to it.
