craftsman table saw fence

[TmAfterTm]

I inherited a really old Craftsman table saw. I have always liked it since I was young, the age is probably almost half a century. The craftsman table saw fence is really bad, it won't stay straight, really a pain to adjust, basically, it's a nightmare.
Look, I'm not a pro, just a weekend woodworker, so I don't need anything fancy, just want something that works without driving me nuts every time I'm trying to use it. Maybe someone will say "just change the fence!", haha I don't have a $200 budget for fences okay lol. I looked around and found this old gear-driven fence on eBay, and wonder if it's a good idea to buy a second hand craftsman table saw fence. Hit me with your thoughts!

Wow, I wish I can also inherit something of the sorts. If you've liked it since then then maybe it's meant to fall on your hands. Have you tried looking at other options for secondhand markets for a new fence? I won't say change the fence but if you're looking to upgrade then why not? You're already considreing it yourself. but anyway, just make sure you check if the one you've got your eyes on has complete teeth and don't have any ragged parts then you're good to go. 200 usd is too much.

is it too much? Haha, I really didn't realise that. I guess I was too excited to finally get my hands on this table. I'm thinking about buying the second hand parts, but haven't found a place that sells them
