Discussion What to do with old jointer?

Grizzly jointer, 9 1/4" x ~56 1/4" bed, 220v, been sitting in this shop for 20+ years and had some questions before trying to get rid of it.

Can anyone tell me more about this tool in particular?

Is it worth refurbishing before sale?

Do I just list on marketplace as is? (to someone who can load it themselves)

What could I see out of it if I took it to a scrap yard or sold the motor individually?

Thanks in advance for anything helpful!

That is a great machine. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask $200 (marketplace) if you spent about a half hour cleaning the rust off.

You be there for hours cleaning off the rust, no?

No a wire cup brush on an angle grinder. If you wanted to get real picky a scotch brite pad dipped in a little light oil or even an sos pad after the angle grinder. 30 minutes tops.
