I got one for a song a few years back, great tools! Once Favre hangs it up though, it years of cellar dwelling for the Pack. (Geoff 12-18-07)

I kick myself for not picking one up at a garage sale for $125; but then again, don't do much scroll sawing...... they are fine machines.

I have a slightly newer one (I think, mine's a 1998) and was able to get a couple of insignificant parts from Busnton along with the date of manufacturer, etc. The company has changed hands twice and the new owners still support the older models.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I need to check closer if mine has a date of mfg. I pretty much know the history of all my tools. This rbi hawk's parts look very makeable for sure. I am sure you can keep it running for a long time.

If you are interested in general discussion, there are several Hawk users on this forum; http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/
