>>HISTORY<<
I obtained this machine through a local private sale.
The previous owner bought it at an auction. No further information is known.

>>MACHINE<<
Sears Craftsman Power-Bronze, 2-wheel, 12" band saw, model 103.24250, built by the Central Specialty division of King-Seeley.
The saw included the following Craftsman accessories:
- Pedestal model 2957
- Ball casters 2819
- Belt guard 2907
- Gooseneck lamp 2536

The motor is a ½hp 1725rpm General Electric.

I plan on doing a cleaning and tuning first.
The special tilt lock nut is missing and substituted with a coupling nut (at least the wrench handle is there). I'll have to find one of those.
Then I will look for a period correct Power-Bronze motor and Power-Panl switch for a complete package.
