I got this bandsaw as part of an auction lot I bid on a few months ago. I wasn't sure if I was going to keep it or sell it. However, after I started looking into it, I realized this was a quality saw.
It's a circa '67-'68 Johnson Model J Horizontal Bandsaw. 1HP, 3PH, 3/4" X 137" blade. Averaged out with the rest of the lot I purchased, I think I paid about $135 for it. It was missing a motor and bracket, and a belt, and had a few abused parts on it, but overall, it's bones were good.
Most parts are still available. I reckon by the time it's said and done, I'll have about $800 in it, and it will be worth about $1800, maybe more.
I'm still putting it back together. Hopefully I'll be done with it in the next couple weeks.
Anybody else have one of these?
Todd
