need info on Duro bandsaw

[BTL-A4]

There's a bandsaw for sale near me. It's a Duro. Not much info out there. Anyone know if parts are available? I'm guessing bearings are (if this one takes the standard ones) and blades can be had, what what about other parts? Anyone know anything?

Photo (this is all there was). It's close, so I can go look at it, but thought I'd ask around first. I think it's a 10", but I'm not sure.


Another photo of what appears to be the same saw from another site:

I have a Craftsman bandsaw that has served me well, but I do like older machines. Thought this would be fun to fix up and use.

Thanks!

Homeowner grade. Unique parts are hard to source. Given the choice I would get a vintage 14” Delta bandsaw. The Deltas are pretty common is So Cal and parts are readily available.

I found this on this site:

The Duro bandsaw are not a big sellers, they're kind of oddball bandsaws that were made in Los Angeles, CA and usually sold in disrepair, parts are very hard to find but your looks like its in good shape.

I'll have to see how big this one is. I don't have room for a 14" Delta. I thought parts might be hard to find. I thought maybe someone would know if this machine was made by someone who also made them for other companies/brands.
