I bought this several years ago. The guy severely modified for his resawing. The table is gone. The mount for the table is partially cut away. The bearings are modern. The upper wheel alignment is cobbled. It does have an upper wheel guard made of wood, and woven steel wire. There was even an old three speed car transmission cobbled into this, but no clutch! The "N" and "K" of the Frank, where ground off to mount the guard.
It is the coolest band saw I have seen.
