I bought an old heavy cast iron "Homecraft" scroll saw with a 16" throat
and it seems to be in good condition. My question is: 
Should I bother to make a stand, hook up a motor, etc., or would I be
better off with a modern new one? 
Generally, IMHO, old cast iron tools are far superior to new, but since
I've never owned a scroll saw, I'm not sure. Prices seem quite cheap for
the new saws. Advice appreciated.
Thanks, Rod
