This is one of the dozen or so Delta Salesman Sample Radial Arm Saws, apparently from the southeast US sales territory. The badge on the guard has been changed to "Rockwell" but was originally a Delta Milwaukee badge. The saw blade still has the Delta Milwaukee logo on it. Most all of the adjustments work; the saw moves back and forth on the arm; the blade is actually sharp, and not mounted backwards like a certain Porter-Cable tool recently dissed on the forum. The motor is not a motor though, so it won't cut anything, just like the Porter-Cable saw.

While I've seen pictures of a few of these before, it's very interesting to see one up close and actually play with it. Most of these which have appeared for sale recently have been snapped up by the antique toy collectors, but I collared this one for the slowly-building West Koast Delta Museum.

More pictures to post after I finish playing with it.
