Some of you may remember this, it's been a long time but it's running now.

With a lot of discussion with other smaller vintage machinery owners/operators I believe this machine was prolly marketed by Sears, Montgomery Wards or other catalog house in the early 20th century. It's truly "Craftsman" built! There's still $200.00 reward for its manufacturer or period advertising showing this piece.
Walk around & cutting wood video.

Possible repurposed machine gun cartridge feedbox slide. Working on exact part name and manufacturer. These parts along with the connecting rod, flywheels gives the blade its up/down action.
possible machined cartridge slide gate if its weapon parts.
weapon serial number?
machined slide bar that holds blade. those screws are "rch" smaller that no. 6-40. hoping this helps identifying the weapon this assembly came from.
clear view of slide assembly on saw.
thanks 4 looking, comments & help id'ing any part of it.
