Thanks for the tip Jon. As you know, I'm also in CT. I contacted the seller
- waiting to hear back. I'll let you know if the deal goes through. Just in
time for building season!

If you can find one, the Ryobi BS1001SV is a great 10" bandsaw.  Has ball
bearing blade guides, a built in dust collector, easy release tension
relaxer, built in light, etc, etc. These are features found in very few
models under $400, especially in this size.  They were sold by Home Depot a
couple of years ago.  I think they were discontinued, but you might find a
store that still has one.  I called around.  I paid about $200, and it was
worth every penny.  Don't confuse this with the cheaper Ryobi model that
Home Depot carries now.  Most of the cheaper ones have solid blade guides,
no dust collector, no light, etc.  

Found this brand new one for $150 thru google
(http://newyork.craigslist.org/fct/tls/802758059.html).  It is in
Connecticut, but he might ship.  They occasionally come up on ebay.

Look under bandsaws on the Ryobi website.  Manual and features are there.

Tools like this have become much cheaper than they used to be. Unfortunately
they also are suffering quality issues. 

 

My solution has been to look at each "flaw" and consider it a project to
fix. A little TLC will turn a bargain tool into a treasure. Rigidness,
vibration and reparability are important qualities. Ease of changing blades
is also important with any saw. There is no such thing as "one blade does
all" in any saw.
