Comments:

Acquired at an auction west of Madison, WI in 2016. History is unknown but appears to have been converted from a line shaft configuration to the use of a motor. This saw appears slightly different than others currently in the archive (2017). The upper blade guide arm shaft on this saw is round. Others are sqaure. On this saw the upper casting arm transitions from the blade tension mechanism into an 'I-beam' shape. Others appear round. The blade tension is applied via a rubber donut. The donut on this saw is completely worn. Wheels are cast iron.
