I found this saw on an online auction but didn't get a chance to see more than photos until I picked it up. I was intrigued by the unusual adjustment mechanisms and wanted to know more about the saw. That led me to this amazing website... I was able to find the model listed in the 1934 Walker Turner catalog but that appears to be the only year this model was made.

I am trying to decide what to do with the saw, but want to know more about it's value. I enjoy using old tools for their intended purpose but would not want to wear out or improperly restore a potential museum piece (I have not found this model listed or mentioned anywhere other than the aforementioned catalog). If anyone has an idea of the current value as-is and/or professionally restored, please let me know.

The known deficiencies on this saw are as follows:
The motor is not an original Walker Turner, but doesn't appear too far from the same age. The saw was listed in the catalog without a motor, so it may be original.
The splitter and blade guard were not with the saw.
A couple of nails have been used to replace pins in the blade height and table tilt adjustment mechanisms. I don't know if roll pins had been invented by 1934, but that is what would be used these days.
The pot metal pulley on the arbor has a Walker Turner logo cast into it, but it has a small chunk missing from one flange.
The rear fence clamp bolt does not look original.
