Complted resto of my #900 24" BOICE Crane jigsaw,found this intact owwm at a local yard sale.The jigsaw came with factory #903 steel stand,push-pull switch and a Delta 822 lamp
Looked up on the MS seems to be 1930's era,not many listed nor complete machines

I had my students involved in the tear down,bead blasting,painting & assembly of this old arn.I work on my owwm's at school,we have a media blaster,parts washer,three welder's all next door at the auto shop,plus lots more room then my packed shop at home .I painted with Ace hardware's Machine & implement paint- international blue,I've painted 3 machines with this paint and had good luck with it.I had rat holed an old Emerson 1/3hp motor to power it,looks and run great I loaded all the info on the MS
