Found at local swap meet. Originally had a home made wooden stand with wheels, but I was able to locate the right Delta stand for it. the upper blade guide is broken, but still works and the lower guide is missing and I keep looking for one. I was able to locate the main bracket for the trunnion. The miter portion was replaced with aluminum angle which works really well (see picture). The front blade cover was cracked at the top hinge, I was able to weld the cast aluminum and put it back together and you can't even tell after all the careful grinding, filing and sanding before paint. Previously during it's life the bottom of the front guard was cut to allow for larger blade use. There is too much missing to try and fix so I left it. (Can be seen in stand picture, exposed wheel) I am using the right size blades now, 6'.6", so this is not an issue.
