I saw this tool in an ad that was sent to me - thanks Shimbo! I do not own this machine but thought it was worthy of photo submission. It appears to be the most original/complete Walker Turner made 16" Craftsman I've seen - with what looks like the original blade guard, fence, mounting hardware, cast iron base, and even the motor!

As such, I thought pictures of this saw might help anyone in the future who is restoring one to come as close as possible to the original configuration. The owner in the ad states that it runs well. It is a true testament to the quality of the tools, that an 80 year old tool, in its original state (I assume) still runs and operates.

(Admin BAK 3/29/2016: RI motor appears to be the Diehl built 315.5619, ½hp, 1750rpm, dual shaft, with ball bearings.)
