As said, that may not be a Unisaw. I thought the rule of thumb is that if it doesn’t say “Unisaw” it’s a contractors saw in disguise.
Doubtful it has a true 3hp motor then too.

That is definitely NOT a unisaw.
It's not worth $750 either.

I don't think any of the "hybrid saws" came with a 3 HP motor, nor did they run on 220. All came with a 110 only motors, as this was the market Delta was aiming for.

Pretty sure it's a 36-752 which is the 52" Unifence version of the 36-755. Mine came with a 30" Jet-lock fence and cost about $900 in 1991 or so. The Unifence versions were probably $100 - 200 higher. Definitely not worth $750 now.
It's a hybrid saw from before that term became widely used. It's 2 HP, single-phase, 220V.
Basically it was a contractor's saw mounted in a cabinet with an upgraded motor. As such, the motor and trunions are hung from the table rather than mounted to the cabinet as the Unisaw does.
I've had mine for 27 years now and it usually serves me well. I've occasionally wished I had something better but mostly it suit me fine. The biggest issue is that it is really hard to do alignment adjustments on it because everything is "around a corner" inside the cabinet. However, once adjusted it has held pretty well.
If you're looking for a decent but cheap saw and can bargain it down to, I don't know, $400 maybe, then I'd consider it. If you want a closer to top of the line saw, this isn't it.

No. I owned a right tilt arbor saw. (36-752). Cover was on left. It was 220v 1ph. It was made in the usa and all unisaw accessories fit it. It was 2.25hp marathon motor. Mine had a unifence. I was able to use a delta unisaw drop in splitter as well.

I sold it for $1200 with a router table plate in ext table and 7518 in plate and second fence, back in 2006. Guy drove down from Chicago for it. I explained it was not a unisaw. He did not care. I never needed a unisaw when i had it.

This looks like my last table saw, which was a Delta 36-752 with a Biesemeyer fence, 2HP motor on 220V. It's a hybrid saw before hybrids were a "thing". I bought it for $450, sold it a year later for $550 because I wanted a saw with true riving knife. Otherwise it was fine for my needs.
The model originally sold in the 90's for around $1k according to a poster in this SMC thread: https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread....ta-Cabinet-saw

That looks like some solid cast iron on that saw table. Do the cheaper models have that?

Its all but a unisaw. Table mounted trunnions and 2.25hp not 3hp. Cabinet was nice but the dc port was kinda lousy.
