Congrats on your purchase.  That would be a type 1.  Not sure about the price.  Would be a little high here but enjoy your new toy.

The only real differnce between a type I and a type II is where it was manufactured.  There are a couple of minor changes but essentially they are the same.  You might wish to bookmark this link - http://www.ereplacementparts.com/dewalt-dw788-type-scroll-saw-parts-c-1009_2631_2632.html (http://www.ereplacementparts.com/dewalt-dw788-type-scroll-saw-parts-c-1009_2631_2632.html) This is the parts break down for a type I
