Comments:
this saw was used by a lumber yard from the time it was new until 1977 when my uncle purchased it to use on the home he was building for himself. the saw was used once again to build a house for another uncle in 1990 since that time the saw has sat outside unprotected, thats right 21 years out in the weather. if my family lived in florida it would have melted into the ground by now. anyhow now that my uncle has given the saw to me its life will become much more useful, and it will be protected from the weather. aside from some light surface rust and cracked wiring, the saw is in wonderful mechanical shape just needs to be adjusted and a new table added will post more pics when shes in running shape
