Comments:

To my knowledge it had been in a high school woodshop untill the early 1970's when it was moved to an Agriculture shop. It had last been used there for cutting meat in the 80's. I received it in the mid-90's after it had been sitting idle a few years. I think the original motor has been replaced since there is a flange out the front housing the motor shaft. This flange arrangement doesn't look original. I have cleaned off the rust, repainted, replaced the tires, put on a new blade, and tweaked the motor to get it to start. It runs like a top and with a good sharp blade, tracks straight. It doesn't have a fence or the mounting rail and is missing the knob and closing mechanism for the motor door. I don't know if these are available anywhere or are necessary, since I use a homemade resaw fence.
