Seen advertized for an auction sale, near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Purchased after using creative rationalization and overpaying by a shocking amount
(Unexpectedly having to transport the heavy band saw, 50 miles home, in my cramped Acura Integra is a story for another day.)
As the table tilt mechanism for these WT band saws seems to frequently get broken when the table is used as a moving handle, I’ve attached a very sturdy “handle” to this saw’s mobile base to use when re-locating it. Admittedly, it is not authentic and it may not be pretty, but it certainly is massive and hence should be unbreakable

Comments: re-painted saw -may not be true WT colours, but I think that the balack&gold looks "classic"
