Picked this up at a school auction for $400. Completely stripped it down and rebuilt it.
3 phase 3 H.P., No. 2 miter gauge, extension table,Type H tilt fence w/micro adjustment ... was missing the tapered pins so I had to make my own.

This saw is my pride and joy. It's a beast compared to my other saws. Runs quiet and very smooth. I can stand a dime on edge, start the saw, let it get up to speed and stop it and the dime will still be standing.

Alway on the lookout for the original tapered pins for the fence, filler strips for the miter slots, miter gauges and other types of fences. If you have any, or know where they can be found, please let me know.
