I am third owner. Purchased from fellow OWWM member Bill Peters in February of 2010. He delivered it today (5-20-2010) on his way to Alabama to visit his son. Original owner was a man named T.G. Gallatin of Manhasset, Long Island, New York (according to some info in owners manual addressed to him). Motor was recently serviced by Mr. Peters, with installation of new bearings, hence motor has different paint job. Saw is quiet as a mouse (until you cut a piece of wood). Will replace cord and use as is for time being. Down the road, a tear-down and paint and polishing in store for this baby.
