Thanks to everyone!! I think I have the parts under control(hopefully) now I need to find out why the speed control does not go. After trying it I took it apart and found that someone had pulled out all the connectors! Anyone know where they should go??

THANK YOU!!! That definitely helps. Mike

Picked up a spare Excalibur EXll for parts. After looking at it it is too good to part out. Looking for some of the blade holding parts. Anyone have some kicking around or know where to source some? Thanks, Mike

Hi Ash, I also Live in London Ontario. I second the rubber/foam. I used some foam type practice hockey pucks under my Beaver 3100(massive and VERY heavy!) that worked well. Now I have one of the original black Excaliburs VS30" and vibration seems to be minimal. Keep your eyes on Kijiji in London area as they do come up fairly frequntly and quite reasonable. I picked one(19") up for my son in law for $100 recenty. Even came with the original manual/blades etc. Most of the manuals for the original Sommerville Excaliburs can be found on vintagemachinery.com Have had great success with Olson PGT(Precision Ground Teeth) blades. Can get them at Busy Bee Tools cheap or even better from R&D bandsaw www.Tufftooth.com and they will ship right to your door very reasonable For dust collection I used a QSP Shopvac hooked up to a Dust Deputy cyclone which captures 99% of dust and keeps your vacuum filter CLEAN!! If you want to discuss over a coffee at Tim Hortons, send me a private message and we can set it up. I live in South end of city. Mike
