I'll post a pics/measurements of it if need be, but it's the same deal as what shows up in a web search. No badges or tags on the machine for a perfect ID.
Base casting has missing teeth where the vise clamps into it, corresponding vise screw mount is also trashed, the main blade bow has been broken-then-brazed, and the ratchet mechanism's teeth are all trashed. Everything else seems to be intact if you need pieces off one of these machines, but not enough is good to fix this one unfortunately. It does have the auto cutoff switch casting & switch pusher rod, as I've seen that mentioned on here when I was looking it up.
Edit: Added Craftsman model number, and found the sales brochure that shows the roached feed ratchet teeth are a separate piece from the likely serviceable arm casting. The slide end seems to have fared much better than that or the pivot bushing.
