Comments:

This was a local CL find. I traded a Champion Forge post drill for it. The saw was in very good condition when I picked it up. The table raises, lowers, and tilts via geared knobs. The 1/2" arbor sits in ball bearings. The rip fence pivots to become a miter sled, a cool and unusual feature. The saw takes a 6" blade--I had to order one to fit due to the 1/2" arbor. The saw and motor both sit on an odd, skewed cast iron base. It came with a 1/3 hp Companion motor which I'll probably keep, as it passes the nickel test right now, even with the old belt.

Comments: The "Z"-shaped base. Below the arbor pulley is the table elevation knob, and the table tilt knob is to the left.
