While looking for an 8 inch jointer on CL, I was fortunate enough to find both a PM model 60, which satisfied my jointer wants, and a PM model 141. Both were neglected and in need of much elbow grease, which fortunately I had in spades. I actually found that stripping the machines down to their bones and rebuilding was very enjoyable. Anyway, I already have a nice Jet 14 inch bandsaw, but I am thinking that the 141 is one of the better small bandsaws around. With new bearings all around, new tires, and cleaned up, it is basically a new saw. So, if you had a choice, which on would you keep? A Jet 14 made in the mid 2000's, which runs really nicely, or a 1978 model 141 with fresh innards? I am inclined to keep the PM, simply because I prefer older machines. Just curious what everyone else might think?
Thanks
