$600 bucks in 1967. Popular Mechanics Magazine, in the classifieds.

A months pay for a Jeep.
But then a Ford Grand Torino was $2100 or $66 a month payments. Much faster, and you didn't have to assemble it

Yeah, I had the same problem

My dad checked into getting one of those.
The adds in the magazines were a bit miss leading. Its been a long time ago but if i remember right you had to buy ten of them to get that price.

Group buy will do that.

Yep. Now that you mention it I do recall you had to buy 10. I was a teen when I saw that. Putting together the group was next to impossible for us teens at the time.
 
Any body ever operate one of these ? Last time I saw this circular saw in action was in the early seventies, now with new wood it's ready to run again. Safety gear required , that's why all the old guys are deaf !
