I scored this from someone who had called me because of my website, flamingsteel.com. I list there that I am looking for vintage tools. This belonged to her Dad who was no longer with us on this side of the fence. I ended up picking it up for $300. Her Dad had tried to sell it before he left for $900. but no one came. They were very happy to get it out of there. I had missed cheaper ones on craigs in the past... day late dollar short butt kicking situation. I was happy to find the orginal guard was there with it also. Not to mention the cast iron motor cover and original motor!!! I was surprised at how heavy this sucker is! It seems to run butter smooth. The only demon spot is where they cut in for the dust system. I can live with that no problem. After a little WD40 the adjustments all work butter smooth. I will be checking the belts and motor shortly. Though these saws are a thing of beauty when restored I am a fan or original patina's appearance wise. Thus it will likely just get a little cleaning at least for now. All the marks are like my scars... I paid for them with pain and so I want them there to remind me how lucky I am to have made it this far!!! Except for problems with the nut behind the wood this saw should be more than I need for a long time. In sixty or eighty years if I get into politics I might sell it.

Comments: To clean the top I smeared on some Autosol polish then placed a pad of steel wool under my electric sander, throttled it down with a speed control and buzzed away. It then got a finish coat of Johnsons wax
