Comments:
In my rovings around this rural area of kwa Zulu Natal South Africa, have come across this Walker Turner bandsaw belonging to Malcolm Anderson. He inherited it from his father so I would date it between 1940 and 1950. It has obvivously done a lot of work in its time and is still in use in Malcolm's workshop where he engages all his free time restoring stationary engines (Fairbanks Morse etc). This is the first Walker Turner machine I have come across although Malcolm also has a Walker Turner Jointer also inherited. They are solid machines. Could not find any information regarding Model Number. The bandsaw looks all intact and would look super if properly restored.
