l purchased this along with a whitney # 77 saw and a porter # 612 pin router in the early 90's. As with all these machines , they where well maintained but where wired for 550v and needed electrical upgradeing anyway just from age. l had the motor rewound for 220v and replaced everything else electrical. This machine runs very smooth and takes a while to come to a complete stop. l am missing the original fence and the drive belt is showing it's age.
