I purchased this bandsaw on ebay. It was 100% complete! The wheel guards and blade guards were cut into as a result of bad tires resulting in bad tracking. Minor corrosion on the table. Not the original paint as i discoverd breaking down machine for restoration. No cracks on entire casting and all bearings are in great shape. I have repaired the die cast guards with solder. Test ran with new tires and it should really restore well. Came with a leiland motor which still runs as well. currently looking for a walker turner motor. I have also found a table top base for mounting saw and motor which was from an older companion 12'. More photos to come on finished restoration. Revision:almost there. saw is done. copy this link to see a video of this beautiful saw in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_z3jP609mc
