This was acquired from a private party Sept 14, 2004 for the sum of $75.00. It has heavy surface rust but should clean up nicely. It appears to be intact and seems to have the belt changing rods??

I believe it dates to the late teens or very early 20's. In the 1923 catalog on the mothership, it shows the band saw.

I tried to take the table off for transporting, but the nuts were really rusted on it. I was scared I would damage it by forcing the nuts, so I transported with the table intact. I'm happy to report that no damage was sustained.
