This was a Facebook Marketplace find. So far it appears to be the only B940 Series in the photo index. This unit as outfitted with the factory extension tables and the TA5 "safety guard", and with their factory fence (with hardwood laminated face), would be a Model B941. (The B940 is the base model without extension tables. If the saw had been originally equipped with their earlier style blade guard it would have been a B943 [with extension tables] or B942 [without].) It appears to have been fully accessorized when purchased: it came on the No. 22 factory base, had the AD17 hinged motor mount, and was powered by a 1/2 HP W-T Driver Line motor controlled by the W-T factory switch.

Things to note about this saw which can help distinguish it from other W-T tilties . . .
(a) the table is a fair bit larger, at 23-5/8" deep (plus 3/8" for the bosses where the fence rail attaches) by 15-1/2" wide. That compares to 19" deep by 15" wide on my existing (and older) 8" tilty.
(b) the table insert is oval, and not the rectangular version common to most of their tilties.

As far as I'm aware this model was only offered in the 1937 catalogs.
