Comments:

After acquiring two other fixed-table Northfield saws, I found this in a regional auction and went for it after having missed out on 3-4 other Northfield sliders over the last couple of years. It will be completely restored and a few missing parts replaced (handles, knobs and quadrant). It's a 1955 machine and appears to have a 12" larger table on the right side of the blade. Moderately interesting dust collection hookup modification to the blade access port. The original auction pictures are below.

Missing parts per the photos include:
1. rolling table gap adjustment handle.
2. Knob that locks the rolling table under the front edge of the sliding portion of the table.
3. Block and handle to push the rolling table on the right side of the sliding table.
4. Quandrant
5. Miter.

Looks like both handwheels and locking knobs are present, and this saw has the original aluminum up / down arrows.
