If your really into classic Skil you will also want one of their model 100 'Surfboard' planers. It has enough power in my opinion, to still be quite useful. When I purchased this saw its gearcase was filled with grease, not oil, and included in the tools case was a tube of Skil branded grease. After going back and forth with Skils customer service who insisted that none of their model 77s ran grease, I tried oil. Not having an oil level hole to gauge capacity as this tools only access is through a access hole on top of the tool, I took a guess and just covered the end of the worm drive gear. So I drained the oil out and regreased it. It continues to run well, although I can't say that I run this saw often enough to comment on its durability.
