I spent a good bit of the day researching this refurb and watched a YouTube series that showed the job to be relatively simple…as long as the parts inside aren’t damaged. If I’m lucky, I’ll be able to open it up tomorrow to look; I wasn’t able to today. Though I did clear out the shed out back to move some stuff into it from the garage, so I now have plenty of room to work on it.
Don’t mind the awkward narration in the first episode; it gets better in the following episodes as he starts working on the saw:

Instead of leaving the rusty patina of a long life on the saw, I’ll sand it with my ROS and give it a new face. I don’t know what color I’ll do yet, though…I’m leaning away from the original Delta gray.
Who knows…maybe a candy red or something loud like that…

I’ll back you with a unique color. There are SOOO many unisaw’s around, and a lot of restorations that put them back in delta gray. Get out there and do something unique. Just do it well.
