If it is at least 50 years old, was made in Michigan for the furniture industry back then, probably pretty good piece of equipment.
Don't know where to look to find one.

I think all-in-all price/quality/service/etc Grizzly is the best bet....JMO
I own the Grizzly 12" 5959Z and it is without question a serious saw. So far it has not failed to impress me. It cuts through anything I throw at it with minimal effort. (And I'm currently using inexpensive HD/Ridgid 60t combination blades).
The saw is large, heavy and stable. Mine is 5 HP 1 phase and plows through anything. It does not move or vibrate. The Shop Fox 53" rail and fence system that comes with it is very accurate once tuned.
I would not (and have not) hesitate to buy any large Grizzly tool in the future. (I do not work for them) I do own the 20" band saw,
6"jointer and a 24" drum sander though. Oh and a really nice Cyclone DC.Larry
Although I already posted I'll say ditto to Bubba. I also have the 5959 and can testify to his comments. mine is right tilt BTW.
