Hello, I am new here. My father is stating to thin the herd of older wood working tools. He acquired a large(36"?) older Witherby Rugg & Richardson bandsaw years ago as well as a 16" Yates jointer. The bandsaw is not setup, but in very good shape. The jointer will run, but the knives need sharpening and are not in the machine. Jointer is 5hp 3 phase if I recall. I have been tasked with selling these for him.
Are these desirable? I am thinking the bandsaw is more of a collectors item than a tool someone would use, but the jointer could put out some work with some new knives.
What should I try and sell these for?
Better yet, maybe they can go to a good home at a fair price through someone on here?
Thanks--Stephan
