Just completed a restoration of my first woodworking machine. I'd wanted a table saw for years, but never liked the new (and cheap) offerings at all the local stores. I found this at an estate sale for the asking price of $20. (I paid full price, with no negotiating) I plugged it in, and it fired right up smoothly. (110V) I could barely swivel it around let alone lift it into my truck. Amazingly, there were two that offered to help load it. Of course, I removed the three bolts holding the saw to the stand, which made moving the saw do-able). After arriving home, the height adjustment was seized by flash rust. That is what prompted the complete disassembly and restoration. I sandblasted all the parts, refinished the top, and overhauled the motor. After viewing many pics of others on this site, I had found one that did a two-tone tan and gray paint scheme and I loved it. I'm very pleased with the result, even if the gray is not quite as original. I used it for the first time today and she ran beautifully!
