I found this offered at the local flea market for $20 back in the early fall and bought it on a whim, because it looked to be in good condition and seemed to run well. I am very impressed with the power it has and it'll be a good 'user' tool for me. The only downsides I can see are that it weighs a bit over 16 pounds and the guard design is primitive. I don't see much discussion of these online, and they seem to sell pretty cheaply on eBay, which will be handy if I ever need parts. I don't mind the weight, though it would be harder to use for trimming the ends off rafters and such. I think someone must have done some work to refurbish this saw, the cord looks modern and is quite new in condition, but maybe it's just been very little used and is well preserved. There's a delay of about a quarter of a second between when I pull the trigger and when I hear the motor start to turn, maybe the electrons are getting old and stiff, but once it starts it cuts effortlessly through hardwood.
