Had this old girl given to me. Any model markings that were on it are long gone. The blade appears to be 150” which narrows it down to around 8 models. There’s a few pieces that need replacing and I don’t want to order from the wrong model diagram. Also, I’m hoping to get some Carter upgraded guides and i’m unsure of which to get. The Delta 20” shows 3 options and none really fit my situation. Possibly a type C but there’s 1 bolt mounting it to a piece that’s bolted to the frame that holds the table. The Carter guide says it bolts to the saw frame and shows 2 bolt holes. Any ideas?
thanks

The guys at OWWM dot org would know this. Or check out the photos at vintagemachinery dot org.

Nothing matched at vintage machinery unfortunately. I looked there first. I’ll give your other suggestion a try. Thanks!

Did you search under Rockwell Manufacturing on the vintagemachinery site? That machine bears a strong resemblance to a 28-3X0.

Yup, that’s the common 20” Delta/Rockwell bandsaw from the ‘70’s and ‘80’s (?).

Edit: maybe one of these:

The Rockwell 28-3x0 and the second one you listed, Matt, both look like it. Definitely not variable speed. That really helps guys. Thanks!
