I have reconditioned the saw, but all the parts from the outside lever to the table are missing. If you have any of these parts, please contact me.

Pdf pages 33 and 34 show the cable system parts. My 1973 3613-2 has this system. The manual is no doubt older

Thanks John, the manual is helpful. I would like to be able to ask you for dimensions if possible in the event that I can not find these parts.
Can do - never installed the pieces on mine, so fairly easy to get to pieces. I don't have the fancy "toothy" part that pushes on the work piece, and have yet to "make" replacement cables
Do you have the several tapped holes on rear edge of table?
A little more clarity and detail - parts that apply to 3613 and 1612
Higher res can be emailed

Some photos of a power feed that I found on ebay and submitted to V. M.
It was sold. for a.36". Could be fabed with 16" dimensions
There is some unnecessary complication - DoAll used steel pulleys with loose ball bearings that were one way or another held in by a steel hub - when such as this would work just fine

Wow! Thank you for these images. This is very important because I have never seen them before. They are usually missing from every saw I have seen. With the IPB that John Oder has so kindly provided and these photos, I will query DoALL for a quotation for these parts. If the parts are no longer available or are ridiculously priced, I will have to make them myself. I anticipate that task will be very labor intensive for just a one-off assembly, but in that case I will still the actual dimensions. Neither the IPBs nor the photos can provide those. As a last resort, I can make educated guesses, but I'd rather have the original dimensions of course.
The fact that these parts are normally missing says that they were probably very rarely used. I can understand that because the mechanism will only have use on long jobs consisting of many parts. It is , none the less, a pretty slick design that will work very well and I think well worth having. After I do my query, I will add to this thread the results with the quoted prices if available at all.
One off parts is where it shines! Lots of repetitive parts, straight to the laser cutter or water jet. I have the whole kit and use it all the time. Dead easy to use and it really cuts down on the effort required to saw anything. I just cut some 4" 7075, effortless, just steer the part and it just glides through. It is a much better system than my Grob bandsaw that uses an air cylinder and can only cut straight.John, yes I do have those three 3/8-16 holes. My machine has a 24" table and the hole spacing is about 6.125". I would like to do this for the sake of completeness. I don't think this power feed feature is of much value when making one-off parts, but in a repetitive process, the feature would be worth its weight in gold.
