This saw was on Craigslist in an ad with a few pieces of old machinery. I noticed it in the background and inquired. It was about 100 miles form me, but the seller had family close to me and offered to bring it up on his next trip.

It was/is very complete and has what appears to be the original 1/3hp motor with it. The saw was originally red, but had been brush slathered with an ugly gray. I stripped and blasted the frame, wheels, table and covers and repainted in a Green Hammertone finish with an Almond industrial paint. The bearings are very good and after cleaning and repacking them, they are VERY smooth.
