A few days ago I stopped in our local junkyard to see whats new...

I seen a Delta scroll saw in the trash... I seen that the head was missing.

I never seen one this big in the junkyard before. I said to myself Wow.

To bad the heads missing... Then I walked up to the tin pile and there was 

another guy unloading another saw just like the one below. The skid steer 

was pushing everything back to make more room. After the skid steer was

finished I Looked what was left of the saw. I could not believe that It had what

looked like a good head on it. Everything else got smashed up. so I walked

back down to the lower pile and the skid steer was pushing everything back

again to make room. I thought I was to late to save anything. When he was

done this is what I found...

 

 

Looks like you saved it Kevin

Also appears to be missing the drive components and table.

.........Complete machine in the back of truck. 

I took all the parts needed off the second machine. The only thing I did not have was a side cover and I bought one off E-bay... I also needed oil. Google says I need 10 weight. Harbor freight has air tool oil that's 10 weight. Guess I need to make a trip... It's slowly coming together. I took me 4 hours to get the legs straight  again.

 

 

Finished it up today... Works great....

 

 

That is some refurb job.  
 

I love those old scroll saws. Well done.

 Nice save on the saw. Cleaned up to user condition.

I got two slabs of walnut and maple glued and when they are dry I'm 

going to cut some inlays... I'll post some pictures when done.

Trying something new...

Thanks, Kevin, for saving a valuable machine.
