I bought this a few years ago with the idea of restoring it even though I've never restored anything. :D
Would anyone here know anything about this saw? Poking around, including OWWM, I see lots of very similar pictures but there are always a few differences. Usually in the mechanism at the end of the arm that drives the blade up and down and also some models have a tube coming off the gear box underneath the table. Anyway, it does work and seems to have the original sunlight motor that at least from what little I've read, was included on some of these saws. It sits on an old homemade wooden stand and the motor was switched from the top mount to under the table on a hinged board to facilitate easy speed changes. I'm guessing mid 1930's vintage?
Is it worth anything as it is? I haven't gotten into cleaning it up yet but there seems to be some sort of flexible boot (it's very oily and dirty) under the blade protecting the piston coming out of the gear box. It seems like that's the kind of part that would be impossible to find today.
So here are some pics and if anyone knows anything I'd love to hear about it.
