Just returned from an auction with a Delta/Rockwell 33-990 RAS in really
good shape (no rust, etc). Paid $50.00. The rear table and fence need to
be replaced, and the lower parts of the blade guard are missing, But for
$50.00 I couldn't pass it up. I plugged it in, turned it on, and the motor
made a nice purring sound as it spun the POS blade that's mounted on it.
The only bad parts are... now I have to learn about radial arm saws and it
just about uses up all the available shop space.

You're not in the Atlanta area by chance are you?

I saw one just like it today and came very close to dragging it home with
me.

Sounds like you did good with a little restoration ahead,
