Found this in the the storeroom of a local cabinet shop (now defunct). It was missing the two tables. It came with an undersized motor and with crude mesh doors. Originally sold as a line shaft machine, it was still fitted with shifting lever but had been "converted to motor-driven.

Completely restored and added a a table off a Sidney 36" band saw. Babbitt bearings (lower wheel) were re-poured. Wheel doors and upper blade guard were fabricated from Corian. Upper saw guide (Wright) is stock. Replaced with a 2 hp GE motor.

Restoration is documented on OWWM. Saw runs and cuts beautifully. Whisper quiet and smooth.
