   That's a great machine and in my opinion if it's in good shape worth every penny of $500.

   That's a steal! You will be tickled with that saw. Accurate as the day is long and will work for hours on end without a whimper.

   There is one GR model listed at http://www.OWWM.com in the pictures section. FYI  The GR is set up to run 12" or 14" blades.

   Work Safe,  Count to 10 when your done for the day !!

   Well let us see some pictures then.
   Does it look like this one which I recently did some work on? You can see the serial numbers and that this one is 3 phase.

   That's a really nice saw. I own a light weight DeWalt radial, not an accurate saw!

   I got it used from a contractor who's idea of maintenance and accuracy were not what I consider accurate so after much fixing up and frustration I realized its not me its the saw.

   I no longer use the saw so it just collects dust (what a shame!)

   Chaim,
   the one I pictured above is a medium industrial saw, or what I would call a "proper saw", and they are fine machines if cleaned up and re-adjusted.
   Those light weight diy type saws that you mention are the very ones that have given radial saws a bad name, with inbuilt faults. They are also dangerous . Best left alone, or converted into something benign such as a buffing head or grinding head.Philip Marcou

   I couldn't agree more!

   that's why I bought other tools, to replace the radial arm saw. besides it being inaccurate your right its also dangerous.
