Yeah feels like a good deal, unless coolant pump is dead - its not that cheap to replace. Then its an OK deal.
 
Looks like it has a different gear box (cooling fins). Not sure where in the 7x12 lineage this came in. decent deal I agree. btw @Tom Kitta , just did a tune up your old 7x12 saw.... did the guide bearings (x10) , lower drive-wheel etc. still ticking!
 
My 7x12 was $400 at auction in fixer-upper shape, this looks better at a distance. Heck, even a 4x6 is north of 500 bucks now new, so if this is in decent shape I would think it worth it. Guess in some ways it depends on the fault in the coolant pump, but for home use a number of solutions could be clobbered together to make it functional.
