WWII-Era DoALL Contour Band Saw with Built-in Blade Welder (likely Model ML, 16")

Details

DoALL contour machine (vertical band saw) from The DoALL Co., Des Plaines, IL. It's WWII era and still carries its "War Production Board Limitation Order L-108" tag. It has a built-in blade welder/grinder with annealing switch, a speed indicator and job-selector dial, a gooseneck work light, and a chip tray. It's likely a Model ML or V-16 with a 16 in throat (to be confirmed from the serial plate).

It's coming out of a warehouse cleanout, so it's sold as-is. It's vintage and appears complete with the welder, but it hasn't been run. The power isn't confirmed (likely 3-phase), and the serial tag hasn't been read yet.
