This was a donation from Akron Makerspace. It's a Bett-Marr 14S, vintage 1942-1956 (or maybe later?). Motor is dated 1986.
Needs power cord (12/3, as it's a 16 A motor) Fixed, though plug is 15A for now.
Should have a better power switch installed. A nice, emergency-stoppy one.
Probably needs a new belt - size?
There's sort-of a bodged welding job that needs to be ground off, have rust cleaned off and re-welded.
Blade should be replaced (note inside door says 95 1/2“ x 1/2” wide x 0.025“ thick)
Remove the light attachment - it's a mess and not helping anything
Add a guard to the belt/chain mechanism
Add a guard to the blade
extend the current guidepost to drop lower?
Table needs refinishing - rather rusty
A nice repainting on the body wouldn't hurt either.
New tires? Probably not a priority right now, but eventually?
