I have a old 1950's Dewalt radial arm saw and need information on
where to get parts. It's need a new motor. The local electric motor
shop is trying to find parts, but no luck yet. It's a model GWI.
If anyone could help, thanks!

There's a company called Wolfe machinery who has a website - they stock
all of the old DeWalt parts.   If I remember correctly their asking
price for a GWI motor was something around $600 last time I checked (and
I'm not sure if that is for the motor alone or with trade in, please
check with them for the correct price).  You can buy the entire saw from
them for $1000.00.

	I just had my GWI motor rebuilt - new windings, bearings, switch, solid
state solenoid, capacitor, paint etc. by a company in Edmonton,
Alberta.   They did an excellent job - and it cost $400 Cdn (which is
about $290.00 US.  I think their name is Universal Rewind.   If you like
I can post their phone number.  Speak to Lowell.

	I'm still in the process of restoring my GWI and I'm looking for a shop
that can paint it.

P.S. there's also a fellow named Wally Kunkel who sells a book on old
DeWalts.   He has a website as well, and has been very helpful.   I
intend to buy his book after I finish restoring my saw!
