I have had my eye on this 147 for about 2 years.
I've been trying to talk the owner into either giving it to me or working out some kind of trade. He doesn't remember how long it has been sitting, but says it has to be close to 10 years. Yesterday, I talked him into selling it. He wants $150 for it. The only problem is I don't have $150 and I gave him $200 for this one about 2 years ago.
The 126 was running (after filing and setting the points) and I've been using it up until it "slung a rod" over a week ago.
It's really hard to justify the extra expense right now. What do you guys think. Is the 147 worth $150? I'll be thankful for any input.
