Hi,
I just need a bandsaw to complete my shop and found this one on CL. It looks like it's in good condition and I'm waiting to hear back from the saw owner's son.
I've never purchased a bandsaw so I don't know what components to check. An initial look of the model on google reveals that it's a pretty good bandsaw from the 1960's and some crucial components (such as the 3/4 HP motor) can be replaced for heavier resawing.
The asking price is $125 which sounds reasonable.
Best,
Minh
PS - I've got to bring this thing down a flight of stairs. Can the base be disassembled?

Update the saw was sold before I got a go at it :(.
I think I'm just going to buy plans for building a bandsaw from Matthias Wandel :).
