Comments:

Complete, no breaks, it appears well cared for. As others have noted, everything on these is heavy.
Table: 90 lbs
Front guard: 70 lbs
Top wheel assembly: ~38 lbs
Frame with bottom wheel: 360 lbs
Seems like the whole saw might weigh about 600 lbs.

Interestingly, although my saw's table (being the earlier variety) doesn't have a miter slot, the underside of the table casting reveals that they were anticipating the slot by thickening the table in that location.
