My son and I discussed it and that's what we came to believe. Problem was the table design didnt leave us enough room to fit it as the adjustable deck for the table was too large and the belt would foul if we set the motor too far back. We'd designed a sliding deck for the motor that fell to the wayside.

All done... well almost.. Tensioner tomorrow
So we soldiered on, made a few mistakes along the way but, like anything father and son, it's the journey that we value.
We removed he splitter mount to make room for the motor on the table saw deck. Have plans for a sprung belt tensioner and a skate board wheel.
Sorted out the wiring and even re-used the orginal Ring Grip plug, they REALLY don't make them that nice anymore. All that Chinesium in the electrical world is awful, the baleite had lovely brass crews a three pronged wiring clamp and a beautiful centre inserted design... Who in their right mind thought to change from this design, I'll never know.

And someone's super happy

Now to let the saw and motor bed in before we adjust the height and give it a whirl!
Thanks for all the tips and advice, much appreciated.
Conclusion:
We didn't restore the saw because it really didn't need it. We'd knocked off the rust where needed and the rest was in pretty good shape. While they don't make them like they used to, I'm sure with deep enough pockets you can get a modern saw that does a lot more and will cost, but hey, these things can kill you, so why go cheap...
We looked at the domestic grade saws at Bunnings, personally I don't like the whole idea of flooding markets with rubbish and taking away from proper saws. Will this saw cover all our needs, probably not, but this wasn't all about a table saw, it was more than that. My son is considering cabinet making as a trade and it was a good opportunity for him to explore whether it's for him or not. Happy to say, he loved the woodwork

Soooo close... we had to try her out too!
It took us a while, but we came up with a working solution...

There were a few skateboard bearings lying around and we're still tweaking the fixings as it's fouling on the wheel action set screw and we can't lower the blade completely, we're only 2-3mm out because I had to have one of these...

We gave her a run and she cut beautifully

We learned a lot about vises.. We had to move our's to the right side to make it work, cut it down, repositioned, added more support, laminated the third rail guides between the back jaw and the bench, lots of fussing around to make it run smooth and square and now it works a treat

Does it cut well... oh yes indeed

Be right back... (Had to find a way to flip the images, did it at my end.)
There's not so much to show of the saw itself, it's tucked away happily into the workbench. The offcut is from the Jarra we used on the vise, the boys said that if they push too hard the belt tends to slip which isn't a bad thing. With the thicker stock, the saw tends to shift the sawdust at you via a gap at the front, because we haven't got the blade right up. What's really nice about the saw is that it's pettite and feels firm and planted and thetable top is in great condition too.
