hmph!

There’s a key. I presume to control access by way of creating an inviolable cut-off point for the electrical work. (This also brings to mind my long ago comment regarding mishaps during repair of my first greenie urging me toward becoming a half-azz auto mechanic.)

Got some important things I have to take care of this morning but when I get back I’m going to begin setting up to break this baby down and nudge it toward becoming a (as Engler might say) serviceable machine.

What a deal

I really like seeing pictures of all the accessories. An air compressor! What a cool thing. My headstock has one shaft that gets used for some sort of "sprayer."

If the bandsaw part is a duplicate of something you already have, and you wish to sell it.....:cool:

I hope your machine turns out to work well with a minimum of repairs!

As it happens I do have a Ryobi bandsaw and might be interested to sell it after I figure out what the heck I’ll be doing in this shop besides fixing old machines. :o

If that turns out to be the case I’ll check to see if you’re still interested.

Sounds good. I have an old cast iron Homecraft bandsaw that needs tires badly, and I couldn't get blades to stay on it, so I stole the motor for a meat grinder. The Shopsmith bandsaw looks like a decent bit of machinery, and I know I'll eventually get one., it's just a question of when. Hope your machine turns out to all work well.

Just got one!

And, I did. Found an old style on on fleabay for what I think is a good price. So, I'll not be needing one. Glad these things are still out there.

Good stuff. Why mess about with so many good machines in need of a loving home? ;)
