Picked this saw up from fellow OWWMer Ron Ginder. Saw was in excellent mechanical condition with only a bit of surface rust and missing an on/off switch. Tires and bearings were all good. Looks like the cover badge is not period correct (from late 1930's), but I like this style better than the mid 50's badge. Started out to only paint/refurb the rusted areas but ended up painting the entire saw. I considered opening up the gearbox but with the gear lever functioning well, good/quiet bearings, and no leaks decided to leave it with only doing an oil change. Very happy with how it turned out and its performance.
