Well (new to me) anyway.
I drove 165 miles to get this on Christmas eve.
Not such a great deal at $300.00
bucks.

3/4 horse general electric.
He says it works but I haven't tested it.
Any one got a spare plastic bandsaw face/cover?
New ones are available from SS for $66.00, but a) I don't know if the new one fits a Magna Greenie and b) I would much rather have the period correct green cover. The one on the saw is cracked so it looks like a spiders web, has a chunk missing and has been repaired many, many times.

No help on the cover, but a new one should fit and have a window besides!
FWIW only the very early Greenies were a type A headstock. The pix look like a B headstock. If sn in the other post is accurate, it would definitely be a die cast B headstock.

The bandsaw cover is a non issue if you are going to repaint a brilliant verde green. Ordering a new one with a green paint job will do just fine if you are going to repaint the whole thing. Great score.
I'm jealous

Man!! That's a great deal. The bandsaw and jointer are worth that! Around here that would be $1000 for that package on a good day!
