Comments:

The attendees at our local consignment auction showed a lot of interest in this saw until the bidding started. I was the only bidder, and I got it for $15. The throat plate and fence are missing, and I am in the hunt for those, at least the fence.
The cast iron legs came with it, though someone in the past put them together as a cabinet with too-small plywood sides, so it looked awkward. I was happy to see that the miter gauge and riving knife/blade shield were included. The attached motor is a 1HP Craftsman, larger than the 1948 service manual suggests.
I look forward to this rehab job. I love the shape of the saw, and the uber-cool brand casting.

Comments: The previous owner was standing by, and he wrote this on the table as people gave it the once-over. I felt badly for him; he had many pallets of Ford flatfender parts and several old tools, and nothing fetched very much.
