Thinking of buying one of the old 9" ones w the crinkley green finish and all cast iron arm. $100 , no base.
It's an hour from me, I will be deciding from photos.
My question is - Is there any common problem with these to be concerned about that is not readily fixable?
Like some fancy machined part that can fail that causes a real $$ problem ?
I do not know yet if it sat in Grandads shop for 50+ years, or was tossed around by a traveling carpenter... photos should tell me that.
I will not buy it unless very clean.
Any comments on what to be concerned about on these particular models ?
Also, owner said he used 10" blades w guard in place, do 10" fit ??
I'll look at OWWM, but wanted to ask you guys.
Thank you all, Marc
