Looks good.

What did you do to sharpen the teeth?

I had one years ago powered by an A. I think they were most useful when more people had wood kitchen ranges which take small diameter wood. That was a nuisance to hold and cut with a hand-held saw, powered or not. Big stuff was too much labor to hoist to the table - easier to lift a saw.
I remember being impressed the belt didn't slip much, and how much power it took to run the blade. Maybe the angle and set of the teeth wasn't right on mine (I sharpened it with a file several times) but a stick 6" dia. and dry would push against the governor pretty hard.
Fun to use, though not by yourself. Good to see the guard around the blade, mine didn't have that. I recall a fair amount of noise at each cut.
It's good to see the old tools tried out again.

That was the realy one of the toughest jobs, i used a 1 inch wide Flat and a 3/4 inch wide rat Tail File on each tooth, then I gently used a hand grinder with a soft disc to take any burrs off the metal, took quite a while but that saw Cuts Quick & easy now.
