Hey Bruce, I moved your inquiry to the Power Tools forum. The Help Desk is for site related issue. You will get more exposure here from the Normities.
It's hard to say exactly what size band that saw takes without a model number. But a little research ran me across a 57 ½" band if the model number is T676020.
Your string method is probably going to get you closer than any other way, unless you know the specific model#. Just make sure that the wheels are not maxed out as that will leave no room for tensioning.
Personally I think that the 3-wheel BS aren't the best deal. You might do better looking for a 2-wheel 14" used saw. They are for sale often as folks upgrade to larger machines.
MTCW,
Dave

The 3 wheel saws are hard to get a blade on if you only have 2 hands, HAD ONE.
