Got this from a fellow OWWMer here in Portland. He got it from an old cabinet shop who had it for about 15 years. Apparently it hadn't gotten much use there. I replaced bearings, belts, tires and put a new grounded cord on it. Paint is refreshed too in the pictures I'm posting, but really nothing too major. The casting is impressively large but pretty crude on the saw. The base has two cast end pieces joined together by bolted on sheet metal panels. It takes a 106" blade- which is proudly displayed on the badge. Table has no miter slot and no fence or provision for one- not being drilled. Motor is a 3/4 hp Brown Brockmeyer dangling from a poorly thought out pivoting motor mount that barely supports the motors weight but appears to be original. I reached out to the only two other owners of this saw on the site but got no reply. And I also replaced the safety disconnect that was acting as a switch with a newer manual starter. The guides are like carter guides, top and bottom.
