Deuco saw with changeable blades - score or scrap?

Score. If the blades are worn out, you can make a lot of nice scrapers.

Where is the motor? ;)

The motor came separate

The motor came separate:

Only 'Deuco' I've seen before is a Chinese manufacturer; don't know the W Germany connection (and didn't see any sign of that on the pictures posted; on other side of blades I guess?). Maybe they were sold there but imports????

The one surely needs a refiling and sharpening desperately it appears. How good the steel is and whether they'll be worth the effort I don't know but for $5, hey why not? :)

I had a similar set of interchangeables of some no-name that I found in Lynchburg years and years ago. Were handy when doing all the refurb's to have the multiple blades in one package instead of having the full shop complement to drag around, primarily when doing early pre-full-restore work to keep a rental going until started the gutting and rebuild phase when then would move the whole kit-n-kaboodle in and set up a shop area for real.

I'd guess you'll find occasional uses but they won't become your "go tos"...as a clue, I'm sure I didn't throw that set away but I've no idea where I stuck 'em when we made the move back to the farm and that's been over 10 yr now... :) Somewhere in one of the myriad of boxen yet to be unpacked I suppose.

But, it's always fun to pick up something more or less novel... :)
