I have an old Rockwell Bandsaw. I want to get it running, but there are a few issues. It is missing several things I can find: 2 tires, a blade, a belt and 2 more things that worry me:

No table
No top blade guide

The table seems to be obsolete and the old list price was $1200 - that is a lot of money. The top blade guide is missing and I do not know what it looks like or where to get one

The variable speed box also looks questionable. The motor spins freely, but I have not got it powered up yet.

Where can I find a table and a blade guide?? It this a salvageable machine??Rockwell BandSaw.jpg

Blade guide can be easily made or bought aftermarket (carter for example).

The table is going to be the holdup great if you could find a nice used table cheap, maybe look at other 20" saw tables as well. One could make one out of plate, but unless they were able to do the work themself, it wouldn't be cost effective to pay someone shop rate.
