I bought this saw off a gentleman that knew very little about the saw and had purchased it in a lot from another mans estate. It was purchased in northern California east of Sacramento. I believe that many of the parts are original, including the fence and rails, miter gauge, dust door, and switch plate. It unfortunately has a 20 amp two pole light switch instead of the cutler hammer toggle switch. I replaced the top (which had been broken and cracked in multiple places), replaced the fence rails (had been drilled and bent), repaired and repainted the fence, replaced the throat plate (cracked), and replaced a lock knob (broken off). It has two braze repairs internally on the rear trunnion and rear trunnion bracket. They are very solid and old. I think they'll hold for the life of the saw but just in case I have replacement parts ready to go. I also found a cast iron goose egg motor cover for it. It appears to have never had a motor cover (there are no mounting holes). It runs great and I plan to use it regularly.
