Found this on the top shelve in the shed that was long forgotten I even had it. Been in the shed for at least 30 years and belonged to my father back in the 50’s.
I will need to refurbish it a bit.

If you can’t plug it in or put gas in it I don’t want to play with it.

Nothing wrong with the old one you found. That combined with a good coping saw, good work can be done.

You’ve got a gem there Marcel!
I cleaned mine up, polished it, had it sharpened, slicked it up and sold it at a garage sale 5, or so, years ago for $1,200.00.

No one around here would pay that kind of money. Like Bob said above, if it don’t plug in or use gas, they won’t touch it. I can’t even sell this 1970 Rockwell for $15.

They don’t make them like that anymore either. Internal motor grounded to the steel case probably so you can get zapped when cutting wet wood. I had a similar saw from the late 60s, don’t recall the brand, but you had to wear gloves when cutting anything with a higher moisture content or you’d get bit when you pulled the trigger. LOL.

You definitely needed a grounded extention cord, but when the cord got wet, you still got sapped. No GFI’s back then either. Plug it in and go. Also had those 14/2 with ground flat extension cords.

Used to drop them in a hurry, that is for sure.
I have several all metal case drills, including a 220v all metal two handed monster. Plastic is so much lighter, of course the batteries keep getting heavier! LOL

Bob, those big ones were arm breakers when they bound up, they kept turning after you let go the switch.
