It looks like a great saw to me. With shop tools, old is usually good and heavy is better. Have a look at the bearings to see if they are sealed or if they need periodic greasing or even oiling.
Any rust on the table is easily looked after with some WD40 and a light sanding. Stick a sheet of sandpaper to a piece of plywood or mdf and sand by hand to keep the table flat.

Yes yes yes

don't fix to much on it, only what needs fixing
If you take it to a machine shop, get the blade guide wheel brackets made for bearings.
OLD machines mean good machines
Great find

Everything turns good on the bearings. Both wheel bearings turn free with no rough spots. They both have grease fittings and I pumped some in them when I first got the saw. It all turns great. I oiled all the other small bearings then too. Thanks everybody. Ill try to get some more pics of it up
