My father (who is 87) is closing down his house and moving to assisted
living, so he gave me his table saw, which I grew up with.

The construction is cast iron and mild steel (table and mechanism) and
sheet steel (box and table wings), and the whole metal assembly has to
weigh 70 or 80 #.

The motor is 115 volt single phase 3/4 HP, made by GE.

The rubber power cord is hard, and crackles when bent. It will be
replaced. (I installed the switch and cord when I was a kid, but I
don't recall when.)

It turns out to be almost a cult object; I never knew. Here is a
writeup:

My father bought the saw used for $50 on 1955 (when I was 8), and it
isn't nearly so pretty as the one in the writeup photo. I'm in the
process of cleaning it up. Everything does work, and is tight, but
there is a heavy layer of dry rust on all the unpainted iron or steel
surfaces, in particular the table top and miter grooves. A carbide
paint scraper works well, as all the surfaces needing attention are
flat. Wet sanding with a machined aluminum sanding block also works.
