Comments:

I am trying to find a model number for my vintage Delta band saw. I have seen pictures of many band saws that are similar and everyone seems to have a different.

My father purchased this saw in the mid 1960's and it was old when he got it. I think it is around 1946 vintage.

Neither he or I have done anything to this saw other that general maintenance. It looks like it did when he bought it. I continue to use this saw on a regular basis. But I think the saw is getting to the point where a restoration is required. Both from a maintenance aspect but also from a historical equipment aspect.

I have attached several photos of this saw in the hopes that someone can lend some insight as to the model number and any obvious missing or non-standard parts, other than the newer fence.

Any help is appreciated.
