Comments:

I acquired two of these machines in 2011 and 2012, and used parts from the slightly older model which was incomplete to complete the younger machine. Younger machine has the lug bump and hole for attachment of the work light ( deduced only from personal reading on the machines on this and a few other sources ).

The upper blade guide holder for this machine was broken in the recent move to Virginia and I have yet to source another or an alternative that will fit. At this point I will try just about anything to put this one back in working order, which it was prior to the move.

I have a belt guard on hand which I will clean and paint to match the color I chose to paint the machine and though I am not wild about the light weight table (vs the model 768) I will use this cowboy when I have a wood project moving down the line. Will add a photo of the machine with belt cover when attached.
