I bought this from a guy in 1990 in Vancouver who got it from the lumber yard that he worked at. It had sat outdoors under a lean-to for a few years, so the table had to be sanded down. The stand is from the yard, the new top is mine. The mitre guage is Craftsman, but it may be original to the machine. It has a 1HP 110/220 "Driver" motor, which I believe is the original. The switch that came with it was an 8 inch by 5 inch circuit breaker. I changed it to a new 2-pole switch when I converted it to 220 volts. There is an electrician coming over tonight to see what I did wrong. March 11 2016 update... The motor starter return spring broke, and could not be replaced, so I installed a brand new 1 1/2 hp Baldor motor in it. the extra weight caused the tilt mechanism to lose it's balance, so the tilt had to be checked quite often. No matter. 6 weeks ago was a fire in my woodworking shop. While the saw was spared the flames, it was not so lucky avoiding the fire hoses. I don't think it will ever be the same. (and I never did find out what I did wrong with the wiring.. I had to run it on 110)
