My Grandfather gave this to me in the early 1990s. He used it to build his house in the mid 1950s. the metal stand that it is on he welded up himself, and it is quite heavy (3/16" angle iron). the saw is not the original grey, which was a bit beat up, I repainted it Ford blue. it has the original rip fence and miter gauge as well. it takes an 8" blade with a 1/2" arbor, which I have not seen in quite some time. most 8 inch blades that you can find have 5/8" arbors and usually came with a plastic adapter/ spacer which I have a few of. Saw works perfectly.
When he gave it to me, the gear set that raised/ lowered and tilted the blade was stripped out, and as of 1992 or 3 I was able to order a brand new replacement for it from Sears.
3/4 horse power motor too..
