Old bandsaw identification

I tried asking on OWWM but don't have enough posts to post a link:

anyone have any thoughts on this, it's quality or make? my new Grizzly 17" bandsaw is not running so smooth and I'm breaking Lennox Trimaster blades.

thanks!

Looks like an old bandsaw somebody has customized......huge wheels and look at the size of the table...probably not as safe as modern saws but could be a great deal.

Keith Rucker, Vintage Machines, has a YouTube channel where he restores really old machines. You might contact him and ask about the bandsaw.

Why don't you just ask the person who listed the saw for more information or to send you a photo of the data plate so you can see what you're buying.

Once you have that you can probably find more info or maybe a manual and also get some reports on its performance.

I did ask him but he says he couldn't find any sort of name / branding anywhere. Surely someone didn't grind it off the castings?
