I have been looking for one of these metal/wood cutting bandsaws and this one was complete and original. It has a 1/2hp Westinghouse motor with Delta decals, the belt cover and work light. I striped all the paint off with various implements (Citristrip seems to work the best and is the least offensive) etched it, removed the rust, and repainted with Rustoleum Dark Machine Grey. I also found a non delta tagged Westinghouse 3/4hp motor for it. It could probably stand to have the thrust bearings and tires replaced but so far it cuts like a dream.
