I've had this Walker-Turner 12" bandsaw for 5 years waiting to be restored, finally got around to it when the stand just fell into my lap. The bandsaw belonged to wife's uncle, I don't know if he ever used it, was mostly in pieces and parts when I got it. A added new tires, and a serious clean-up, paint (Hammered), a stand and motor (3/4 hp) there was not a whole lot more to do. The wheels have bushings (no bearing), they are worn but likely more trouble that it's worth to attempt a replacement.
The bandsaw does work, does cut pretty well but has some vibration due to wobbling wheels. Nevertheless, is usable and I intend to put to plenty of use. The blade is 77" 3/16" 10TPI.
