Comments:
I purchased this saw from a gentleman in Arvada, Colorado in August of 2016. He had purchased it in about 1997 from the previous owner in Lyons, Colorado. The saw suffered significant damage in that the frame, wheel covers, and other components had been broken. The gentleman I purchased the saw from brazed the broken castings, but did not continue to restore it. I completed the restoration, (off and on), over the past three years and completed it in March of 2020. I made the blade guides in my shop, and they were the first project that I made on my milling machine. The saw has a lamp built into the wheel cover and replacing the internals from the original lamp socket was the last step in the restoration.
