I have an old Skilsaw, not sure it's a classic. Not modern, for sure. It works fine, sounds and runs like new, has problems. I am using it because most of my tools were stolen recently. I need some parts. However, I haven't found one reference to that saw in all of my searches. Not one hit. Obviously I am not searching in the right places, or using the right terms. Is there a Skilsaw Model # 874? 

If you haven't googled Skilsaw Model # 874 , I suggest you do so.
Or call 1-877-SKIL-999 .

Sorry to hear about your recent tool loss.  Welcome to the forum!  Good luck with your parts search!
