Is it a heap, or is it worth a punt?

This looks rather different from everything else available over here which
all follow the "tin box with an alloy extrusion sitting on top of it"
pattern.

I messaged the seller with many questions.
The answer to everything just came back as "not sure"
apart from it's complete with extension rails/outfeed table shown in the
first picture and it's direct drive, single phase and the top is "galvanized
metal"

No sizes or specifications otherwise.

Sorry this is short notice, but if anyone recogbizes the model and has
anything constructive to add, I'd be grateful.

From the pictures:
1. the fence apears to have limited adjustment range
2. the blade controls are awkwardly located
3. there is no splitter after the blade
4. the blade guard appears to be missing
5. the top appears to be sheet metal folded down on the edges and
bolted to the frame - which looks odd, as the frame appears to be
sturdy

Excellent used Craftsman saws with cast iron table and extensions are
for sale all the time for $100 US or less on Craigslist.org. I just got
one for my father (had my own stuff for decades) last week and for $50
and some minor aDJUSTMENTS, HE HAS A very nice saw. Got him a radial
last year for $50 also, but it needed a bit more minor work.
