Default DeWalt RAM

I have a chance to buy a 17" Dewalt B&D power shop radial arm saw for $200.
Seems to be in decent shape, maybe needs brushes in the motor. When turned
on the lights dim a little. But then it's not on it's own 120v circuit. The
original manual comes with it, and a bunch of rusty blades.
Here's the question: If the motor needs brushes, is it worth the money?
Parts are still available, mostly used or made by a second party. There is a
place in town ( Toledo ) that can check it out and set everything ( heel,
toe, etc. ) for about $45. Need some opinions here.
All advice will be helpful.

Thanks.
