Picked this up off the local CL for 50 bucks. Came with a homemade stand similar to what was described in the delta literature. I bought it for the retirement lamp thinking to sell it, but decided that I needed another restoration project so I went ahead and refurbished it. Its a sweet little saw, very heavy for its size. Previous owner had drilled holes in the top cover since he was using an incorrect length blade. I patched the holes up fairly well. Interesting that there are no ball bearings in the entire saw (maybe with the exception of the backer bearings). The upper wheel is a roller bearing and the bottom is a bronze sleeve. The motor was a 1/3 HP Westinghouse also with sleeve bearings.

Everything was cleaned, painted and lubed. Tires are still original and could stand to be replaced, but it is running and tracking nicely on the original tires. Very happy with this little guy, I made a stand for the saw and motor out of some 2" soft maple. The retirement light sports an LED bulb that never gets hot.
