[TheForge] Little Giant

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

Mark:
I wouldn't buy a LG sight unseen. You want to find out how the bearings 
and clutch are and how the guides are too.
It's probably a 50# with a wrap around guide, Sid sells the guides.
The price doesn't seem thrilling unless it's in pretty good 
shape..unfortunately, you can't run it before buying...pf
