BTW there is a plastic reproduction goose egg/motor cover on Ebay this morning. Last one sold for $110 I think? If your wanting one that is the cheapest way to go. Originals are going for OVER $200.
Look for the Unisaw Restoration threads and you can see photos of mine. Email me if you need help, I am no expert but I just finished mine up.
Cast iron reproduction goose egg covers are being made by one of the OWWM guys. Several OWWM guys including myself do make reproduction parts so that is another way to go. The goose egg cover as I recall is now handled by Ron Curry of OWWM membership and the casting is being done by Emanuel King whose family runs the Cattail Foundary in Lancaster PA. Please note that the Emanuel King is of the Amish religion so all amish rules are in tact.
The saw you have is a bullet uni. Nice score by the way. Even has the orig. switch.
Had the dog not stopped to go to the bathroom, he would have caught the rabbit.
