I purch'd this for $125.00 from a fellow that put an ad in the Roch., NY "C'list". I was the first caller and was followed up by only one other, all w/in an hour. The p.o. had purch'd a larger saw, & this became excess. He had purch'd it from someone else 2-3 years ago, so other than the fact that the previous owners took good care of this saw, I have no other history on it. I traveled 1 1/2 hours, w/light rain at my back, for it and it was worth it. It came with all that you see in the photos, for accessories and options. The one accessory not shown is the paint challenged arbor cover on the motor. The motor is a 3/4 hp, 3450 rpm runner. The cabinet base/legs have Rockwell made casters, (each foot marked w/an "r"), and the cabinet/legs themselves seem to be all Delta, I've just never seen as complete of a setup for the ts like this before. The hole in the cabinet top was for a grinder (metal?) I was told, the p.o. removed it and never placed anything over the hole. Now I know that a jointer was meant to be mounted over that oblong hole. The inside of the cabinet is outfitted with slanted sides for the sawdust to fall to the bottom and into a plastic yellow dish pan. A relative of mine uses this saw in his shop and when I visit I always enjoy using it too. See this discussion at the .org site for more info: http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?p=419996#419996
