84 yr. old Delta Scroll Saw Part 2

The stand was wired with a switch, plug and wire from another era. I replaced it all with grounded wire. I loved the old switch, but it had to go. The rear wheels were solid rubber. I spun them on my lathe and trued them up and buffed a shine on them. They look new. I also put new rubber paws on the...
