If you go to the Sears site you can find a parts diagram in the "Parts" section. http://www3.sears.com/

I know the 113.226830 is made by Emerson, has grated wings, and is 1-1/2hp. Based on the exploded diagrams on Sears site, it looks very similar to most other Emerson made saws like the 113.298240...I've bought 3 of of those and all were $100 or less for a full size cast iron contractor saw with 1hp belt drive induction motor and steel wings. The one for $100 had a nice Vega fence on it (the fence retails for $200).

The stock fence on those Emerson saws was terrible. Emerson stopped making saws for Sears around 1997, so it's at least 10 years old. $250 seems high unless it's like new and has some upgrades like an aftermarket fence, solid cast iron wings, and/or a mobile base or some other extras (like good blades) to justify the cost. I'd think you can do better for that kind of money.

Thanks for your replys, I am still trying to find a good picture

Try www.owwm.com (Old Wood Working Machines). It's a Craftsman, made by Emmerson. I'm guessing it's late 70's to early 80's. I don't think it's worth $200 bucks, though.

$250 seems high to me, too. I bought a 70's vintage Sears table saw recently for $35 from Craig's List. It's pretty basic but bulletproof. The rip fence is junk, but I can always get a better one later on.
