[justsam]

Vintage tools are not my thing, but perhaps someone in Northern California is interested?

That's one of those situations where you call for a "free" posting and offer to pay them to hold it for you.

Damn, why couldn't this have been in the south bay instead of north of San Francisco

Kind of a unique design, cannot remember seeing another "direct drive" scroll saw like that other than the 18" Beaver model 2100.. Only downside might be the lack of mutiple speeds as you would get with a belt drive model.

One other example found...

I'd take it in a heartbeat if it was near me.

When I was a member of the A.W.P.T.A. (Antique Woodworking Power Tool Association) I found a very unique 36" jig/scroll saw. The most interesting feature was the blade tension system that used springs, pulleys and leather straps to get the job done. Giant cast iron monster weighing in at about 1200 lbs.
