I no longer own or possess this bs, it has gone out west. I picked up this saw & some other swag (see part of it at: http://www.owwm.com/PhotoIndex/detail.asp?ID=4976), for all of $40.00. These pix are my first in the kitchen, seemed like the best lighting and the thing to do at the time. The masking tape sticker on the top wheel cover has "B.O." written on it, so my neighbor, knowing Roger, got it for a steal and I think that I have too. There are some dust/rust issues, but should clean up nicely with a new blade, blade insert, guides, tires, motor and some tuning. I am missing one of the four wheel cover knurled knobs for this guy. According to Dan Boschen down in Amarillo, Texas, these knobs are as hard to find as woodpecker's teeth. Big thanks to Dan for the bs manual, its now archived in my library and in print form. The bs will get the reno work when I can find the light at the end of the tunnel for so many other resto projects, woodworking projects, and to bump off/over/out the NWWM 9" bs that is in its place. I have more pix of this saw, esp an under the table shot and feet, so ping me on the BC if your interested, more advice on the saw welcome too. Blade length is: 71 3/4".
