Sounds like good news on the wear of the ways. Mine had a slight groove about 1/4” wide. The de-laminated part should be fixable but no idea on what adhesive. They do push a little harder probably because the sliding table is cast and heavy. Even the new Martins do not slide as easy as Altendorf or SCM but the tables run accurately. There is a peculiar thing with the T75 to get full extension one way or the other you have to rock the table back and fourth to move the balls. Hard to explain but other owners will know what I mean. I had to do a lot of cleaning inside to get the rise and fall to work easy. I like hydro tilt but I don’t think any 75s had that.
mine had 2 miter gauges and a device for setting the ruler on the fence and a panel support. All good things to have if they are with the saw.
That saw in good running order set up with air clamps and a modern double miter would be a craftsman’s dream.
