Looking for good, used metal band saw--what brands?

You sound like you have quite the selection of saws!
Thanks for the info, Bill. I did find a nice Powermatic 143 that I will be picking up tomorrow. Paid $950, so it sounds like I was in the ballpark. It was a very quiet machine and didn't look to beat up and has the original green paint. Only needed a blade. It was set up for 120v. Was it originally a 240v 3-phase machine? The serial number was 74xxxx, so I don't know if it makes it a 1974 saw.
