Comments:

I acquired the Oliver 117-A 30" Band Saw from Intershape of Buffalo NY. They had closed their business back in 2009 and where finally getting down to liquidating. The Oliver BS was originally at a school in Kenmore NY before intershape bought the 117-A back in 1992. I am going to see if it is possible to get the records(Dirty papers) of her if i can locate the school.
All Ball bearing shafts , original guides,Carter/ zyfer / 2 hp/3ph induction motor / DBL belt( I am bumping that up to 3 (still looking for an older (robust) style motor). The 1920 Oliver 117-A is in line for a complete tare down and restoration.
Here are the video's of the move from Intershape (it was less than 3/10ths of a mile to my shop)
