Comments:

I found this bandsaw at an estate sale, with the shop-built base and Craftsman motor. The price was $10. I found the appropriate 78" blade on another table for $1. This turned out to be an excellent saw, and with a little alignment and adjustment, it runs just fine. The original faded red paint makes the tool stand out. Was missing optional rip fence and miter gauge, as was shown in the 1948 TomLee ad in the Publications section of OWWM.com.
