This was another machine auctioned at the bankruptcy sale in Pontiac,IL 11/18/05.
Could not find any badge or identifying label/model, s/n, other than the manufacturer's name in the casting. B M Root York PA
Makeshift plywood covers had been rigged up over the wheels. Don't know if this saw was in service recently but it fired up and ran pretty quietly with a fair amount of wobble in the lower wheel.
