Looks like a well cared for machine. I'd say you did pretty good. Machines like that go for slightly more here.

Yep, I'd say you did aw-rite...enjoy!
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Yes, excellent machine, exact same saw as mine. Mine was purchased about 1979.

Dave, Just checked my old serial no. files... your saw was made in June of 1981.
Thot you might wanna know...

That's a nice saw.
28-281 is the likely catalog number, a 28-200 band saw on a 52-963 stand/motor package.
Since I don't have a 1981 price list, I can't comment on the 28-281 listing, but my 1984 price list shows the following
28-200 band saw only $613.00
52-963 Stand and motor combo $213.0
To adjust those prices for todays inflation, multiply those prices by two. That would be about right for USA-made quality.
