You really ****. 
I have that same table saw (I think) you are super lucky to have both extension wings. I have been looking for a second one for years. Ended up adapting a solid piece of CI to the other side. They are really nice little saws. For $25 you can't go wrong.
If that drill press came with the foot pedal pictured, fantastic deal. You basically bought a foot pedal and got a free drill press. That's a lot of nice stuff for $75 IMHO.
What type of auction was it private estate or industrial?

Those extension wings are worth more than you paid for the saw. Ones on eBay are my reference.
Was an estate auction: the owner was a wood worker he had all kinds of machines. Planer, joiner, band saws, belt sanders, routers etc. There was some contraption to bend the teeth on saw blades. But my retirement business is motorcycles & parts so to spend money on anything else is just hard for me to do.

The contraption is callled a kerf Setter.

I have one of those Craftsman saws, as did my father before me. The weak spot on them - in my limited sample of 2 - is the arbor pulley. They tend to loosen with use, and if you let them get too loose, the pulley will spin on the arbor and the setscrew will dig a trench all the way around it. There may be a Woodruff key; even it can be damaged by a loose setscrew. Check for tightness, and listen for a clicking sound as the blade spins. Retighten often!
On mine, the arbor shaft was in such bad shape I had to get an oversized Woodruff key and carefully machine out a pocket for it with a Rotozip with diamond cutoff wheels.(my Bridgeport was at the cleaners') Tedious, but worked. It still loosens, but has sustained no further damage.
Oddly, the motor pulleys stay put with no trouble.
I picked up my saw at an estate sale with the Craftsman roller stand with front mounted switch, both extension tables (the stamped steel ones
), dado knives and several blades for $25 - and that was the asking price!

This is my first you ****!
Really, those are great finds. I wish I could come across a sweet deal such as you did.

I have one of those saws in the basement, it was my grandfather's. the wings are there as is the fence in the picture. It was on a huge frame cart, tiny castors on the bottom.
