Comments:

As found at a local auction. The paint is original and in good shape on the saw, but faded on the flared-leg stand. The motor is not original, or in the correct position (?) But it does have several options, including the "retirement lamp" and the Rockwell casters. Unfortunately, someone 'liberated' the fence, fence rails, throat plate and table pin sometime before the auction started that day - don't you just love that? (sigh)

Anyway, another unusual thing about this saw is that it bears the round 'Delta-Milwaukee' badge, even though it was made in Tupelo, Mississippi, two years after Rockwell closed the striking Milwaukee factory. Tupelo must have had quite a few surplus Delta-Milwaukee badges that needed to be used up before they began using the Delta-Rockwell badges...
