A Summer of 2009 Craigslist find for $50.00. It runs pretty good but the tilting and raising needs some cleaning out. This thing is enormously heavy and fungly looking with the dorky extensions, pulleys for hand wheels, and odd shopping cart style casters. The motor itself is a 3450 rpm 1 horse dual voltage Leland. It's smooth. The tag is fairly faded. I believe this has a 1 inch arbor which may pose a problem.

This is high up on the restoration list.

I sold off my Delta contractor saw that was more functional at the time but I think once I'm done with this, it will serve me better. The table size appears to be the same depth as the larger deltas and Grizzlys. I'll measure for sure and if that's the case, I know where to look for some extensions. There are few examples of these but hopefully I can find some appropriate looking hand wheels.
