I don't have a lot of background information on this saw. I purchased it in 2007 at an estate auction for $140. I had to have the lower blade guide repaired, I also replaced the upper and lower thrust bearings. I replaced the bearings on the upper and lower wheels also. The motor that came with it did run, but seemed a bit noisy, probably needs bearings too, but I have never done that to a motor. I had an old sump pump motor laying around that just happened to be the same size, and had the same size shaft. I fashioned a cradle to hold it and it seems to work okay. The stand it is on, is the one that came with it and will be replaced as time allows. This saw came with the original fence and miter gauge.
