Found on Craigslist, April 2013. It belonged to the seller's grandfather, although the seller wasn't sure if it was purchased new or not. It is very similar to a Model 140, although there are some differences, mainly in the table. The Model 140 has a removable plate to allow for the use of a dado blade; this saw does not. Also, this saw has only one miter slot, I believe the Model 140 has two. It is mounted on a swiveling table with a three-footer pedestal, and I think it may have tipped at one time, as there are weld repairs on three of the four side rails. It has bronze bearings, although a version was available with ball bearings. It has a 1/2 HP Craftsman motor. Original fence and miter gauge were included, as well as an original blade and 5 other vintage blades. An original pulley for flat belt drive included as well. Runs and cuts well, although the blades really need to be sharpened. See more here: http://www.owwm.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=131229
