Comments:

March 30, 2006. I responded to an online newspaper ad and acquired this machine in March 2006. It has a Marine Corp. property tag and spent some time at Cherry Point Air Station in NC. Cast iron base ring, steel base cabinet, and cast iron base top. The upper frame and table trunnions are mounted to the cast iron base top. Original motor is 3PH / 1.5HP / 220-440V. Original magnetic switch with overload protection. Cast iron spoke wheels. Overall condition is good but it needs some TLC and is missing a few parts. Since there are a few of these bandsaws pictured showing the overall machine (see P.B. Yates also), these photos show some of the details.
