Comments:

I purchased this saw in September 2010 from Dempsey and Co. It appears to be in ok shape but does have a few problems. They are as follows:
1) the crank only lowers the arm, it will not move back up
2) The power lock was removed and rewired as shown in the photos
3) The original table is gone but more importantly, the "Right End Cleat", part T-10 in the manual is bent. I'll need to search out a replacement part.
4) The rubber dust shoot is torn up

The positives are that the paint is in pretty good shape, I see no real rust, the saw has all it's original knobs (removed in the photos), and I was told the saw does run.

I plan to refurbish this saw as opposed to doing a full restoration. I think that if I can get a replacement cleat and a used copy of the Mr Sawdust book, I should be able to make this into a nice user saw.
