I'm sure this is an older unit it is one of the only ones Ive seen with this tank. I think you had a posted about popular science 1962 I think its about the same.
I have not seen one of this saws with the same tank . the one Ive seen have a aluminum tank with a knob on it this one has a round tank with a handle
over the top . I will get the ser # maybe someone can tell me the year
p.s I was looking for a 4" grinding wheel went three places to find some .
Its like every thing, make it for a few years and change it.
Well here is the project I'm working on now. This is the first O&R I acquired it was about 35 years ago my brother worked at a mower shop in Florida.
His boss was going to threw it out and I said I will take it . I took it apart and was going to get it running but life gets in the way I was only about 16 maybe 18 not sure .
Its been in a box for a long time 6 to 7 moves 3 states . I found it in a box a few years ago and this it what started it all . Missing a few parts must have got lost in the
moves but well get it together . For the last few years I have been buying them when I can. thanks to a few good people I now have a few diaphragms to get it going and a few more.
Missing the clamp to hold blade and blade. Just found a blade on ebay 8" is not on all the store shelves.
THANK YOU. I HAVE BEEN LOOK AT YOUR POSTS FOR A WHILE BEFORE I JOINED. YOU SEEM TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT O&R. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK I WILL PROBABLY NEED MORE HELP.

The one I have looks like the second set of pics that is the same handle I have .no I don't have the cover for the coil.
Do you know if the wires will come out would love to put in a new wire. I try to keep them original if I can some time
it doesn't work out . This one I had to paint the lower plate And I will need to paint the handle on the tank .
I'm sure that I will never find one of this old coils but it will run again!!!
