I would love to have that. I've got a B&D saw like that one and I don't have a drop saw or radial.
Unfortunately I had 2 strokes last year and now blind I can't drive.
I am at Mount Crosby. If anyone was willing to get it and bring it to chapel hill or here I would be happy to pay.I'm just a startled bunny in the headlights of life. L.J. Young.

I doubt it, that is a 1950's B+D circ saw adapted to function as a poor mans docking saw. Radial arms date back into the early 40's and have a lot more versatility than a docking saw. RA's and docking saws also had fairly powerful induction motors, and were capable of operating at high duty cycles every day, where as the circ saws were largely oriented around making a cut or two, then resting while that component was cleared and the next set up for cutting, so they had a moderate to low duty cycle, and even so, quite a few burnt out on the job.
I used to be an engineer, I'm not an engineer any more, but on the really good days I can remember when I was.

I had mine in a triton bench years ago and never had a problem. They are built like a tank.
