Found and purchased off Craigslist. This saw was essentially scrap. Everything rusted, frozen, original motor mount castings broken, missing blade guard, table and trunions missing, crack in one of wheel cover castings. Everything was disassembled, wire brushed to bare metal, a bit of bondo and jb weld to patch defects, new tires, bearings, belt, blade and some paint. The saw sits on a well made wooden base with makeshift motor mount--I have no plans on replacing it. I liked the deep blue with black for wheels, sheaves blade tensioner. The saw works really well and I'm very happy with its size and capacity.

I have since found an original table for this saw and am in the process of making the trunions. In the mean time a table made from wood overlying a 1/4" steel plate is serving well enough.

Unfortunately, I don't think I have any original as purchased pictures of the saw for perspective.
