Saw this listed on Craigslist and went to look at it. It was being offered for sale by a lady's son-in-law, who informed me that the equipment used to belong to her father.

The 912 is a marked departure from the design and style of the SB85 and SB86 shown in the 1934 catalog, and the 1941 catalogs do not list the 912. The tag clearly states "Power King Tool Corp." which places it's manufacture pre- Atlas Press acquisition of Power King, so it's manufacture date is somewhere between 1941 and 1948.

I've been wanting a band saw since I started getting back into woodworking almost 3 years ago, and this was too good of a deal to pass up. Here are the before pictures - I plan to restore this machine and put it to good use.
