This scroll saw belonged to my father. I'm not sure how old it is, but the motor and manual suggest a model from the 1930s or 1940s. It has a very deep throat (26-3/4") for working on larger projects. An accident in my shop years ago damaged the trunnion assembly and I had to replace it with one I fabricated from oak. It has not been restored but remains functional. I would like to know more about its vintage or where I could search for information. The instruction sheet for this tool also lists a model number of 84-775-B (I will try to post soon).
