Bought the saw in Long Beach from Jeff Morris another OWWM'r. Infact currently this saw is submitted with a flat black stand as it was when purchased from him.

I put in new 6203 bearings, urethane tires (crowned and balance by Daily Saw), Paddock Guides (size 0), Ittura tension spring, Browning cast iron pulleys and a Gates belt. Still have a bit to go with a sheet metal pulley shroud, and a table with fence to be fabbed.

Sold this machine after finding a Racine 14" Band saw. One of those things I did to finance another machine purchase. It ended with a 1/2 hp 3ph GE Explosion proof motor and a VFD. Loved the saw. Took allot of effort to mitigate the shakes and it paid off. One exceptionally smooth saw. If you caome across one, I'd reccommend it over a Delta of equal condition. Great bones.
