There’s nothing hugely wrong with the fence, you just need to use a tape measure for adjustment on the older ones as the aluminum rail has no indicator marks. The older fences aren’t as parallel to the blade as newer high end fences without some checking and tweaking but they will work fine. It’s wood working, not heart surgery. And there’s something satisfying about refurbishing old equipment and customizing it to your needs and wants.
