Bought in February of 2011 off of Craigslist in Northern VA fo $300. It has a "Omaha Public Schools" inventory sticker on it and there are the remnants of a large "N" on the upper door. Beyond that I don't know when it was made or sold. It has the 1HP 3-phase motor that I am using a PhazPak to run. There was some rust on the table when I bought it but not that much and it cleaned up with no problem. The upper bearings were shot and the lower ones are starting to go also. I have ordered new ones and will update when they are installed. There was also a cheesey mobile base included that I am using until I get it back up and running. The saw did not come with the light in the picture I already had that.
