Saw on Craigslist listed for $125, called said it was of interest to me, as I'm only 14 he out of the blue went to $75 and pick it up the same day, now I have it in my basement shop. Only history I know of it is that previous owner was given it as payment for helping him move, as he couldn't take it on his move. Previous owner has a basement shop and couldn't figure out how to take it apart to get it down to his shop. Upon arrival to inspect the machine after I passed a gate to his garage in the back he heaved it out of the corner it was tucked away in, plugged it in with its 'widow maker' power cord roared to life! It appears that the table and base have been painted recently in black, eventually plan to match the head's color. Tilt table, vise was picked up with a 3" for $5 for the pair (3" and 4")

The previous owner obviously didn't try very hard to take the head off of the column, as it only took a few seconds before my dad loosened the handle and the head crashed into the table.
