Picked up the band saw at an auction for $10. Very dirty and grimey. As I was cleaning it up and painting it, I discovered that there wasn't any info, other than the patent, about this saw on the web, even on the Mother Ship. I had to replace the belt and tires, and now the motors smoking, so....

There is a badge on the top wheel that identifies it as a Jarvis, there is also a badge under the table indicating that it was either manufactured, distributed, or sold by Walls. I could not find any listing for a company called Walls, for this timeframe, that was in the tool business.
