I know that Radial Arm Saws do not have a great reputation, but I saw this one on my local CL and could not resist it. From what I have been able to tell it was made in either 1955 or 1956. It is a MBF model and is in the best condition of any one of these I have ever seen. I got it for $150 which I felt was a fair price. It required very little clean-up and the motor runs perfectly. I hope this is gloat worthy.
