Comments:

Purchased at a school auction. The school had been closed for a number of years and the saw had been left behind still connected to the (dead) power source. It is complete except for the missing upper blade guide and a knob or two. The wheels need tires but the wheel bearing are good and wheels seem very well balanced. I'm looking forward to getting this one back on the job.

Comments: The trunions are very narrow ... about 3.5" apart. Note the extremely simple lower blade guide
