This machine was an ebay find up in NJ by my brother who bought it at the same time he got an MBF. He ended up liking the MBF better than the Delta and the Delta ended up sitting in his garage unloved. I got it from him in trade. He cleaned it up some and put a disconnect in for the motor carriage. After I got it, I did some more cleaning and tuning and put a French made Hitachi blade on it. I was going to replace the original table on it, but after 50 years, it was still straight as an arrow, so I ran it through the planer and then made the two other table boards out of some old pine trim boards that were also about 30 years old. The saw runs very nicely, and if I hadn't already finished up a 30C a couple of months before, I would probably do a full restore on it and keep it. For a 50 year old saw, it is in beautiful shape.
