That should be in a museum. Or at least the woodworkers hall of fame (or infamy to some).

Full on brand new retail price from 1990/93?

My assessment:

The bad news: very early model, not sure about the 13A/15A motor. whoever took the pics didn't know how it all goes together, lost the recipe or not the original owner, because the stuff is all jumbled and some other non-Ryobi parts in there.

The good news: Looks clean and relatively unused great shape.
looks like its got the new switch (possibly replaced). Got the all-metal handwheel (actually a good thing) which was the first few years,
Got tons of the expensive accessories. I can see:
optional extension rails and leg supports - installed (all hardware);
optional extension table with float/vac system (rare);
Ryobi Vac with proper ventilation to use with with float vac table (rarer);
original miter fence AND optional long miter fence (the miter support and pivot are mounted on the long fence);
optional Folding outfeed table;
optional Miter clamp
optional router mounting kit
Looks like all the parts are there... can't see wrenches, manual blade etc.

Lee - the Saw itself without accessories was $600 when he bought it (original selling price).
Someone probably paid close to $1100-1200 worth original 1992-3 selling prices for the saw and the accessories I listed.
Original BT3000 $600
Rails $100
Ext rail leg stand support $50
Vac table $150
Folding table $100
Ryobi Vac with cooling fan for continuous use when suction closed off (AS WITH VAC TABLE) $100
Extended miter fence $50
miter clamp $30
Router mtg kit $60

Would have been bought long before any of the bundled accessory kit deals were on.


It has value for all the accessories in what looks to be well-preserved shape. Still, hard to see him selling it for that.
Its in Austin but I have no space for anything like that.
