I purchased this saw from Government Liquidations. Needed a complete tear down and restoration. The connecting rod had been replaced poorly at some point in its life, so I made a better one. All the wiring and the motor contactor had to be replaced because of deterioration. Otherwise the machine had no issues. Motor ran perfectly after a straightforward cleaning. Very nice saw, easy blade change.
