Picked up a Bandsaw for free. Now I need help!

Hey Guys,

I was able to score a bandsaw from work for nothing. I defintely needs some TLC, but I don't really know anything about bandsaws so thought I would post here. I'm going to do some research anyway, but figured with the wealth of knowledge that is on this forum, I would ask here first anyway.

I've attached numerous photos just so you can see what I got, whether it's any good, and how to restore it.

So I guess my questions are:

- Do they all usually come with a fence? This didn't, but it may have been lost. Are they replaceable if so.
- Is the table around the wrong way? I thought the t-rail was suppose to be on the left of the blade.
- How do I work out what blade I need to get to replace it.
- Does anyone know someone in Melbourne that services old bandsaws?
- Is it a decent bandsaw by the looks of things?
- Did I do alright in scoring this, or should I look for another bandsaw?

Thanks everyone!

Ryan
