Power cord

[James Sandlin]

My Father In Law gave me his old Skil Saw Model 554 from what I can tell it is from the 1950s or 1960s it needs a new power cord. Can I use a cord for a new skill saw or would it be a model specific item? if I need a cord for that specific model where can I find one? Any help would be greatly appreciated

It would be a lot easier and better for you and the economy if you just went out and bought a new one. It can't mean that much to you.

its not always about the economy and yes fixing this saw would mean a lot to me I don't need a saw as I have a craftsman saw that does everything I need. Somethings are just about preserving our heritage my father in law has used that saw to build several of the houses that he lived in and raised my wife and her sisters so it also means something to my wife!

James,

I'd get it fixed, so that it's in usable condition.

Bring it on by my shop, I can help with electrical/mechanical service and repairs.

If I can't fix it---

it can't be fixed.
