Select good quality blades for my new Atlas

[jepeto]

I had acquired an old Atlas 24†recently and I need recommendations for blades. I do like to build music box with it (Tongue Drum) and I like to buy long lasting hard wood blades. I have tried already few Delta, Olson and Vermont.

 

Can someone help with some good experience so I will be able to enjoy smooth start with the scroll saw?

 

Also any idea how to restore the Atlas to original condition; I already printed the manual. I assume that mine is a newer version maybe 45 year old.

 

Any Tongue Drum pattern will be great with how to calibrate the nodes.

 

Thank you all for looking

Did you ever get any good blades for your Atlas scroll saw? I just bought a "new" old Atlas 24" Jig/Scroll Saw off Cr*igslist...and have only found blades (6") on Eb*y. Let me know how your situation worked out
