Default old Rockwell bandsaw

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with this matter. I just
received a wonderful gift. My buddy gave me an old Rockwell bandsaw.
It seems to run but needs some restoration/cleanup. Is there anyone
out there that knows how to find a manual to this machine, as I nor my
buddy know how to arrange the belts to the pulleys? Also, are there
any books on restoring old machinery available and reccomended? The
only things that I know about this is it is a Rockwell 14" bandsaw,
series no. 28-300, serial no. FR-4908. Cast on the arm of the machine
is : 5-3-73 and LBS28. This might be the date of manufacture. I would
love to get this machine back to working condition. Any help is
greatly appreciated.
Doug
