    Great day Old Dude!

    What shape is that table saw in? It may be just what I've been looking for.

    Might be worth a bit more to me if you are interested. I forget what part of the state you are from, but it would make for a nice road trip .

    Westinghouse is a competitor to General Motors who manufactured Air Conditioners, Freezers and Refrigerators which sold under the Frigidaire name.

    From 1919 to 1979, the company was owned by General Motors. During that period, it was first a subsidiary of Delco-Light and was later an independent division, based in Dayton, Ohio. Frigidaire was sold to White Consolidated Industries 1979, which was in turn purchased by Electrolux, its current parent, in 1986.

    Thats a very Nice days haul indeed! Although you did'nt get it, the (Table S aw = Wire stripper for large guage wire)You may already have one, but just in case you might not. A couple years ago I came across a old Craftsman table saw so we fabricated some very basic and simple wire insulation cutter jigs.

    gus you may be right it could b a frigidare it has the crown at the top of the logo. cant find a date but the searial # contains a 61 im guessen it was made in 61.

    joe the table saw is an oldie heavy iron no tin, 10 inch blade huge motor, has some surface rustn nothing searious, the guards are gone, butall the release lrvers work as well as the slideing guide. the table isabout 4x4 the extension arms are about 4 more it will handle 4x8 plywood. personaly I if I had the loose change I would buy it. im in the central panhandle 60 mi straight west of Tallahassee

    You should easily be able to sell that Table saw on Craigslist for a quick profit. Lots of people prefer the old all Iron saws over the AL and plastic ones made today.

    Hey man back off my saw deal! LOL just joking.

    O Dude I thought you had possession of the great iron beast. The real saws with a solid table are getting harder to find these days.
