This is the restored version of http://www.owwm.com/PhotoIndex/detail.asp?id=3167 that I finally finished and got around to posting. It has new tires, new Upper bearings, new motor, and a upper guide that Dave Potts was nice enough to send me the specs for. Mine was missing and I think this will actually work better than it any way. The top wheel is a little warped, but even without crowning the tires, the blade stays in place pretty well. I would also like to thank both the group for answering my stupid questions during the restro and Don England who has a great page on the restro of his saw http://www.forseyengland.com/wallacebandsaw.html. Although it would be hard to put a fence on it, I was able to easily resaw a 6" cedar board into 3 pieces.

Comments: I couldn't wait until I was completely finished to see if it would really cut wood. Cuts like a hot knife through butter
