CL find for $40. Belonged to the seller's father-in-law who had passed. Included a Craftsman 1/2 HP 3450 RPM motor and just the legs from the original stand. I'm missing the little brackets to connect the legs together, as well as, the fence and fence rails. Everything cleaned up quite nicely, few knicks from what looks like a rogue blade that tried to escape the saw... previous owner must have forgotten to tension the blade at some point and turned it on.

I disassembled the machine down to the last bolt, cataloging everything along the way, and referencing the manual I obtained from this very website. I cleaned everything up and left the paint as-is (paint was in pretty good shape and I am not yet equipped for a good paint job). Put a new 80" blade on and will be ordering urethane tires from http://www.suffolkmachinery.com/urethane-band-saw-tire-price-list/. Part number is BST-12S.
