Jig Saw restore info.

[cincinnati]

Over the winter someone on here offered to send me some photo's,when ready, of a Magna Jig saw that they restored. The pic's were of the jigsaw disassembled and such.
I deleted that message by accident now don't have the name of the person who offered.
I am about to start the restore and would love to see some pic's of how the jigsaw is assembled\ disassembled and any other needed info.

Also like to see a photo of a Jigsaw in the original paint color. Looks like the one I have the arm has been repainted. Was it origional gray or silver? My unit is from the 50's and Green in color.

FWIW:

The arm looks to be a lighter green, not 'silver'. Definitely lighter, may have 'yellowed' with age????
