I found this bandsaw in Penryn,California. The PO said he'd had it for at least 30 years in his basement without having used it all. He got it from a friend and he assumes it has spent its life in the Penryn area. It is actually the 766 model in that it came with the stand and is mostly complete. It is missing the pulley and two of the cover knobs but all the guides are present and intact. Interestingly, this appears to have machined aluminum wheels as opposed to the pressed steel wheels. This dates the saw to about 1937.
