Hi guys, I picked up a PM55, like I need another Mac project
it's a runner, but filthy!
It has the short braked clutch cover, but the brake band is gone.
I remember reading that these saws are quite nippy, so I'd like to run it with a brake when I eventually get it cleaned up. I've been looking around ebay for a replacement (P/N 91238), but haven't come up with much. Found one in the UK, ca. 50 GBP/70 USD with shipping and all, bit steep. Looking through the seller's pictures, there's also a pic of packaging. Interestingly, it says "Valmadrera - (CO) - Italy", where I understood the Italian Mac factory was located, but they didn't produce 10-series saws.
Does anyone know if any newer Macs used this part, specifically Italian-made ones? Seems highly unlikely, but could be worth a shot to track down here if I knew the saw model?
