Hi,
This saw was built in 1986 and has since been sitting in someone's
garage. The box was penetrated by moisture and the table top and the
extensions are completely rusted. It seems that the top was covered by a
protective sheet of paper and it's now completely grafted onto the table
top surface.

I inherited an old Monkey Wards table saw and got excellent results using
old gasoline with a little used motor oil added and some steel wool.
Obviously this might not be a good idea if you have a gas water heater near
the saw.
