Auction buys

[69supercj]

Bought this today at the same auction I was at yesterday. Paid a whopping 20 bucks for it.That motor is a beast, weighs as much as the rest of the unit, maybe more.

Can someone decode that model number for me?

 

[69supercj]

I got it decoded but dont know the approximate date of manufacture. Were these date stamped anywhere?

I don't believe they are date stamped. How did you decode the numbers?

Here's a link to another person's saw who has the same model number as you:

That's a good purchase for $20. I was at an estate clearing business yesterday and the lady who runs it said that they usually get more for scrap from these things than people actually buying them.

I don't know if they're "as good" as modern saws in regards to the tech on them, but the quality and durability are definitely there. I have one similar to it and I like it. Very heavy and built ruggedly.
