Bought a headache for $150 at a tool sale

Picked up a used bandsaw from a guy outside Pittsburgh last weekend for what I thought was a steal. Turns out the blade tracking was so far off it took me two hours just to make one cut on a 3/8 plate. Anyone else ever buy a tool with a hidden problem that cost way more to fix than the purchase price?

Respectfully disagree, a little tuning is pretty standard for used gear.

Think tuning means you bought a broken instrument that someone else was too lazy to fix.
