Is this an older Craftsman bandsaw?

[SRX]

It looks like the older table top models with a repaint, but I am unsure if there were multiple manufacturers of this body type. Any ideas?

Thanks bisley. It is available for $45 near me. The Husqvarna orange paint was throwing me.

^^^^^This. I was looking for a cheap band saw and bought an older Craftsman 3 wheel one off of CL. I could never get it to run that well and the blade kept coming off the wheels. I spent countless hours trying to get it to work, align everything, bought multiple tires, blades, etc., trying to get it to work and nothing made it cut as expected. Now it just consumes space in my garage.

I found this:
1 Improper blade tension.
2 Improper guide adjustment.
3 Improper blade support bearing adjustment.
4 Forcing a wide blade around a short radius.
5 Dull or pitch covered blade or insufficient set of the teeth.
- These are the most common problems that needs to recheck on 3 wheel band saws. Also excessive tension is not necessary and guides should be positioned properly.
