Truly sad day, my 1958 bandsaw (Shop Master) passed on. It was my fathers and it was in my service for over 20 years. NOW TAKING DONATIONS to replace the loss. PM if you are interested in helping. :)

What broke? Maybe you can revive it....

Joe, I've been reviving her for so long now. This time the motor is shot. Unless I happen across a new motor that works and is dirt cheap it won't be worth it. (Sad to say) If I could replace or even modify up a new set of bearing guides I'd consider it. But, there are no new after market guids that will work/fit properly on something this old.

Maybe she can find a home in a nice woodworking museum.

Jon, I have a 1.5 hp motor that I'd sell ya for $50. It came out of a 1958 Delta 20" BS that I just got a few months ago. It seemed to be running just fine. I just wanted more HP. Also, I order the Carter guides form mine and they fit great. Maybe not cheap, but they do fit. As for the motor, I may not be THAT close to you, but if you happen to be my way (near Frederick, MD)...
