Model A means QCGB and power cross feed. 3-1/2 foot bed gives it 22" between centers.
The catalog number CL870ZD will give you other features as purchased, like under drive on a cabinet, bench mount, gap bed etc, I think maybe even the year of manufacture but I don't know how to decipher the codes.
Edit, I forgot about this site. CL is threaded spindle, 370 (it looks like an 870 to me, but it must be 370) indicates it is a 10K (light 10") with an under drive motor, Z is the 3-1/2 foot bed, D is related to the drive but don't know what that means exactly.

Pretty sure it's 870
My bet is that it is really CL670, which makes it a 10K (Light 10)
The serial number is stamped on the right hand side of the bed between the ways.
Here is a chart that deciphers the serial number
Somewhere I have the catalog number info too. I'll post it as soon as I find it.
