I posted a want ad to Craigslist. Within a week I had 5 different leads. I purchased one within 2 weeks.

Now... the want ad was a bit of a chore. People kept flagging it (I posted it in the right area, only my city, nothing wrong with my ad) and I kept reposting. I sort of understand people flagging ads for people looking to buy tons of machines... but I was specifically and only looking for a FT.

It worked for me though. Eventually whoever was flagging the ad let it go and I found a nice project pin I was looking for. I also got a few e-mails for fully restored ones and another that was in the process of being shopped that would've been a reasonable price.
