I just purchased a 50's model with serial number 329031.
It has the bandsaw and jigsaw attachments.
Seems to purr like a kitten through all the speed settings, but I haven't run any wood through it yet.
It's time to make sawdust Pinkie.:D

This weekend for sure Tim!:)
I just finished getting acquainted with the table saw, bottom guard, and top guard.
My Mark V came with two saw tables and it took me a bit to figure out why.
One of the tables has the attachment for the bottom guard, the other doesn't. I should have guessed, since the second table wasn't attached to the extension legs.:rolleyes:
The band saw and jigsaw both need a bit of attention. That is OK though as I really only need the table saw at the moment.
I am really enjoying my time getting to know the saw, I hope you other guys/gals that grabbed older models are enjoying them as much.:)
I am a bit perplexed by the color of my machine. I thought the older (1950's) models were green. Mine is a smooth grey finish. Maybe it has been repainted, or I'm just "off" on the colors.

I'm sorry, I should have said top guard when I was referring to the table saw.
My bad.:o

not so lucky as some of you all mine has some problems. the floating sheave that conects to the speed changer has a bulge in the shaft, the speed changer has no teeth on it left, the motor sheave next to the spring seems to have a bulge on it also. does this mean i need a new shaft where the eccentric bushing goes because the bushing is off to the left quite a bit to where the shaft is bending the vent screen on the outside. i hope i can find this thread again after i get out.
