a tough choice to make... do i keep the ancient sears radial arm saw or buy a new sliding chop saw to mount on new workbench??

just saw a metabo brand chop saw at lowes...removing the old radial arm saw from its stand onto new workbench will be a royal pain. it has sentimental value for me and hate to get rid of it. interesting fact, it seems metabo was a german company sold off to hitachi.

I have a Craftsman table saw and the motor bearings went. I replaced them and it was fine for a few more years, but now they are going again. Guess I can't blame Craftsman for that since the motor is made by someone else but if your Sears is old, it might not hurt to have a new replacement.
