This tool was purchased new by my wife's grandfather on her dad's side. He passed a long time ago and it was passed around/used by some of the family until it was left out in the rain and neglected for many, many years. Maybe even a decade. Long story short, one of the family that still lived in their childhood home was selling it (the house) and needed to clear everything out. The question was asked if anyone wanted the saw before they tossed it in the dumpster. I enthusiastically took it home and began to restore it.

I'm posting the link to the album in hopes that it can be of help to the next guy that wants to restore a similar saw-

One major upgrade I made was replacing the E clips on the blade elvation screw with roller thrust bearings and split shaft collars after one of the e clips popped out of the groove and the blade dropping unexpectedly.

I soaked the rusty parts in vinegar for 12-24hrs and all the rust just fell off. Everything was coated in light oil (wd-40) to prevent rusting, and all moving parts were lubed with teflon dry lube and dry wax lube (bicycle chain lube). Everything runs smooth and doesn't accumulate gunk.

The throat plate is 3d printed in PETG, as well as the junction box for the paddle switch. The arbor bearings and motor bearings were replaced. Motor wiring was replaced (but not the windings).

It has been converted to 220v since the photos were taken, and some new Freud blades were purchased. I use it often, and now I'm lost at how I ever made it so far through live without a good table saw.
