I have had this machine for a few years and intend to restore it one day. It has been on my quest list for many years because it is so classic Art Deco. I now have 2 more parts machines the same. Part of their visual appeal is because of the cabinet which is enclosed on all 4 sides.

The gearbox proved to be a weak point because it leaked oil and the gears wore out, so these saws got a bad reputation. Being shallow like a typical man, good looks outweighs the bad reputation any day.
