DeWalt GE Radial Arm Saw

Last Fall, I won an auction for a DeWalt GE Radial Arm Saw. I drove up to Shelton, Washington, to pick it up 2 days later. I bought the saw sight unseen. I got the saw home and found that the main casting of the roller head assembly was cracked in half. I found a replacement part through the Old Woodworking Machinery forum. (http://www.owwm.org/) I transferred the rollers from my old broken part to the new part - and it worked! I rewired the motor from 440 volts to 230 volts. I also bought a new magnetic starter for the lower voltage. The saw works great.
