O Granowski Power Hacksaw
Hello All
Today I picked up, with the help of a crane, my latest acquisition. It is an O Granowski Power Hacksaw that was originally made in Melbourne. The old bloke I got it off told me he tendered for it when the Ipswich Rail Workshops closed down and got it for scrap price. He didn't charge scrap price but both of us seem happy with the deal.
It turns on and runs which is a great start. Unfortunately it does not have a blade fitted and the rear mount for the blade may not have been assembled correctly. I can see it is meant to tension but I am not sure how the blade attaches.
So the gold plated solution would be if someone has a scanned copy of the original manual. I would be very happy with a description or photo of the blade mounting.
I would also be interested to find out how old this hacksaw is. It looks like if I give it a cleanup and service I should get at least 50 years out of it. The same probably can't be said for me.
Thanks
Steve
