    Talking Old Scroll Saw

    I have just purchased an old scoll saw and would like some more information on it. It has the following cast into the main arm "The Driver Line" and has a badge on the front McLean & Archibald
    IRON MONGERS
    Wellington
    I assume it was made in New Zealand and it has a 130mm blade. It is diven by a 1/4 hp electric motor.
    Does anyone have any idea how old this is? It would also be great if I could get a copy of the manual for it

    A few years ago there was an old cabinetmaker in Wellington NSW who had a couple of old scrollsaws (both the same) in his shop. May just be coincidence.

    Bearing in mind that I have an old saw a bit like Bretts, I wonder if it may be a bit of badge engineering.
