I have a Mark V from the early to mid 70's by the SR#.
It has had a very hard life. It was used for center boring in a small machine shop. It is missing all the parts for the table saw. So I am looking for places to find replacements for many of the normal assemblies that belong on the machine.
My big question is about rust. It has corrosion on the steel surfaces and oxidation on the aluminum parts. How do I fix it without damaging the machine.
I have been reading the quick tips and threads about waxing surfaces.
stupid new guy question

You might want to look at the 520 upgrade from a 500, I think it comes most of what you are missing.
