Purchased July 2007 through e-bay. Previous owner obtained saw (among other tools) from realtor friend who obtained a basement full of tools, apparently from a client. Guy I bought it from was liquidating some of the tools he didn't want/need on the bay. He had a late model Craftsman BS already in his garage/shop and figured he didn't need the saw in question...strangely, I saw no need to change his mind. In great shape overall, came with the usual assortment of blades, GE 1/2 HP motor, homemade stand, rip fence, 882 lamp and an extra set of Carter guides with their original shipping box. Will definitely be looking to find a factory stand, belt guard, etc. for this saw.

Update Summer 2008: Replaced all bearings, new tires, new lignum guide blocks, new belt. Swapped 1/2hp GE motor for a 3/4hp Baldor I got a good deal on, and added an AB Bulletin 600 manual starter. The stand was sourced on ebay, and was repainted Rustoleum Dark Machinery Gray - it's a pretty good match to the saw's still-original paint; if I wasn't looking for a difference in shade between the saw and the stand, I wouldn't have noticed one. Still need a belt guard and have to wire the 882 light, but it's already being put to good use - works great.
