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.

I have pretty much that saw, with all the parts, in working order. I
inherited it from my father who was a cabinet maker, .Ii use it just
enough to keep the rust dowm on the table top, not enough to be any
sort of expert.
I found these pictures on the web, mine has the rolling sheet metal
base, but otherwise similar. The fence slides on mine, & clamps like
the one in the photos.

That sure looks like it except mine is copper colored, looks like
original paint. And along the front is a long "rack" gear with ruler
like measurements on it. I'm guessing that to move the rip fence it
had a handle and gear. I don't know what else the rack gear could
have been for if not part of the rip fence.

It looks a lot like the old 9" saw my father gave me. Blades were too hard to
find, which started me on the freebie 10" sears saw project. Yes, there was a
knob on the bottom of the fence you turned for small adjustments.
