The Powermatic 64 was the import contractors saw. The 64 did have some bad
press. The 63 is a very nice American made contractor saw, heavier than the
average Delta contractor. If it has two cast iron solid wings and a decent
Biesemeyer, single phase 1.5HP motor, etc., it could be a good buy. I'd try
to get at $500 or under. What color is it? Dark green ended in 1982 or so.
Pale green ended in the late 60s I think.

No idea. It was in the ad. Based on my organization skills, I probably
should purchase that separately. :)

The PM 63 has received lots of bad press around these parts, as a
google search on PM 63 or Powermatic 63 will show you.
