John Marotta and I inquired about this bandsaw from the owner at the same time and John being the southern gentlemen he is let me have first crack at it.Thanks John.The saw came out of a shop in Brooklyn,NY.It has the solid aluminum cast wheels.The machine is a direct drive motor with the shaft coming out of the housing with a pulley to a reeves vari drive and another motor.A strange setup to me.The Oliver owner's manual that came with the machine shows a picture of this type of setup.
