In the last pic, there is a threaded rod below the two rails.
That coupled with the two handled clamp with loop closure retainer holding the handles closed is the autofeed

My guess is that the two pulleys visible at top right of the machine are what powers the feed mechanism. No idea on make and model.

Karma is a bitch. And this is proof of reincarnation.
A man's word is his bond. With a decision like that he will return to this earth as an employee of the DMV. He just doomed himself.
Miserable sack....

I believe that saw is an early model Covington saw that has been "Frankensteined". Here is a scan of a 1960 Covington ad that I believe might have been what this saw started out as:  Larry C. |

Score of the month! Oh man just saw the update. That really pi$$es me off when people do that. I had a handshake deal made on a motorcycle once. He called me the day I was supposed to pick it up & said he sold it to someone else. Grrrrr! I once drove 12 hours (each way) from NC to AR for a huge estate auction that had advertised literally many tons of old stock cabbing rough. I drove ten hours the first day and stopped in Memphis overnight. I couldn't sleep that night, probably from too much caffeine during the trip. The next morning I drove two more hours the rest of the way to the sale location in Arkansas. And this was the day before the auction was scheduled but was supposed to be the sale preview day. When I got to the preview the oldest daughter who was the executrix of the estate informed me that she had decided to cancel the rock portion of the sale out of fear she wouldn't have enough rock people show up to bring what she thought the collection was worth. I tried to get her to put a price on the collection as a whole but she just told me that I couldn't afford it. I was able to talk her into letting me pick out some rough out of the outdoor rock piles to buy for my troubles (time, gas, motel, etc.). After spending an hour or two selecting what was probably a couple of hundred pounds of fairly decent(but not great) pieces of variuos agates, jaspers, obsidian, etc.. I asked her for a price. Before she would give me a price she sat down on the ground in front of the pile I had picked and did a complete 360 degree inspection of each rock, licking portions of some, and literally caressing them like they were pets. After a thorough inspection she pronounced she wanted $4 per pound. By this time even here sister was getting annoyed and embarrassed and helped me get her down to about half that price. After a little more work I was able to get her to let me in the indoor part of the rock shop and got her to sell me a small amount of some of the slightly better materials for higher prices. So after having drove 12 hours with only having had less than a half hours sleep, I loaded up and drove the 12 hours back home so not to have the cost of another motel room. They did eventually have the auction sale of the rock portion of the estate but I didn't drive back for it. I heard they auctioned sections of the rough off by the pound and then let the winner hand pick what they wanted while the crowd waited, then weighed it for the total, again while the crowd waited, and then reopened the bid for the remaining rough in that section. And repeated the process until the rough was gone and then moved over to the next section of rough. I was told the crowd got pretty annoyed and that most of the rough only brought 25-50 cents per pound. Larry C. |

Darn, that does really suck! I hate it when people have no manners and lack integrity.
Sorry to hear, Mike. Hope you run across another good deal with a better outcome soon.

Thanks to the help of the younger sister I was able to get enough rough to probably pay for gas and motel. But nothing for two days of my time driving. I'm sure I wasn't the only person who made a trip there for the first scheduling of the auction and that did not come back later when they did actually sale it. Larry C. |

Well I just had my "NOT" moment. I had made a deal for an estate and was suppose to pick it up this morning. I cut my work short one day so I wouldn't miss it and hurried home. I got a call last night about bed time and was told by the guy sister that they wanted double what we had agreed on. He and his brother went on line and decided that they wanted almost new prices for the old equip. What the heck.
