Desperate for a MES!

[BandCollector]

John, Too bad you're not nearby. I just found a used MES40 locally on Craigslist.

Where are you located. . .If close enough to Pittsburgh I could take a roadtrip

I FOUND ONE!

I joined facebook to check out the Marketplace as chopsaw suggested. . . I found one but had to drive 40 miles to pick it up. Was worth it because it is brand new and never used. . . Unfortunately it is a 30" ( Model # MB20071117 ) but I can live with that. Paid $175 . . .
What do you guys think?

Man that is so clean and pretty! And a great deal. Now get to cooking and dirty it up.

I did a quick search for the Pittsburg area . Had several come up on Facebook . Most looked like 30s but one new in box looked like a 40 .

Have to wait until this miserable weather calms down. Hope the controller is half decent or I will have to refer to tallbm . . . LOL!

Nice ! I paid $150.00 for my Gen 1 on sale 10 years ago . That's gonna work just fine , and if you add the controller it's a smoking machine .

Really nice find .

Those go for $249.99 on MB site and Amazon.Not a Gen 1 but a great score indeed!

Looks really nice. All I can find is 30s also

AFIK Masterbuilt has no stock in the 40s. I can't get one on Amazon here anymore, tried to buy one on marketplace from a city hours away, and the chick sold it out from under me the night before I was heading there just for it. Can't even find it on the MB website here.

Not only was this a steal of a deal, but it could probably be flipped for twice the price now
