Jointer Wanted

Yep, it's about time for something with a long bed. The old C'man is fine,
but just too short. 6" is plenty wide, but the bed bed must be long (66").
Being frugal, I'd like to find something used, somewhere near central NC.
Does anyone now of one available?

Man, I wish you were in Indy. I'd love a DJ-15, and would provide a
good home for it, I can assure you.

Anyone have a jointer for sale in or around Indianapolis? Give me a
holler. Thanks!

Given that the series was renowned for its parallelogram design,
perhaps I should have spread my hyperbole elsewhere.

How about the finest 6" jointer ever made: the Delta DJ15? I have one
for sale with an HTC mobile base. It was new for me in '92 (age
doesn't really matter with these babies) and is in excellent shape.

It was going to be my jointer-for-life and there is nothing wrong with
it except I happened across a deal on a DJ20 that I couldn't pass up.
I'm looking for $700 for it, and if that seems like a lot, ask around
about the DJ series (15, 20, 30). It sold for around $1100 new (in
1980's dollars + about $100 for the mobile base). Unparalleled design.
No one's (including Delta) 6" jointer today even comes close.

I can have it in the Charlotte area upon conclusion of discussion. Do
the obvious with my email addy to reach me.

Hey, we'll have none of that around here. This is a family show. Oh wait,
I forgot, we chased out those %&*$ers. As you were. -- Igor

I'd want a jointer with a paralleled design. -- Igor
