Default Old Sears, Roebuck & Co. table saw

Model # 113.27520 with matching stand. Weighs a ton. Looked it up at
Sears parts direct and the only parts they have are bolts and washers,
and a newer miter gauge that will work (I suppose many will work). I
was surprised it showed a parts diagram at all!

It is missing the motor and maybe part of the motor mount but I can make
a mount. It is also missing the rip fence and the miter gauge but Sears
has a replacement for the miter gauge. I'm not sure how difficult it
would be to make, or adapt a rip fence. Looks like the original had a
geared lever to turn since in the front it has teeth along the bottom.

I've been using it as a table top and a grinder stand. Is it worth
getting it up and running again? I have a Ryobi BTS20 that my BIL gave
me and I don't do a lot of precise work, in fact I don't do much work at
all ;-) For sure I won't toss it out but not sure if it's worth putting
the money and time into it.
