Comments:

This was purchased at an estate sale from the widow of the original owner.
The bandsaw is installed on a Walker-Turner #48 steel bench without the wood insert. There is a low speed 2 step pulley (1.5 inch and 10 inch)(not Boice-Crane)installed on the table for metal cutting. Came with 6 various size blades that are still usable after sitting for over 25 years.
The only fault with the saw is the table, which was drilled and tapped at the four corners to attach the particle board top shown in the photo.
There is very little rust on the table top and all paint is original and in excellent shape for the age of the machine.

More photos to follow after cleaning and re-assembly, as it was necessary to take it apart to get it out of the basement. This is a very heavy saw for its size, and the table is also heavy, looks to be at least 12 gage steel for the top, and the legs are a heavier gage than the top.
