That should get you started, plenty more there, they are highly thought of there, for good reason.

Any links from over there your wanting to share? Not been over there yet, I waste too much time on this site at work. Keith

I haven't spent as much time on their forum, it doesn't seem to work as well with my iphone, so I can't select the topics. But everything else on the site works pretty good. So I've mostly been looking at the pictures for ideas on how it should look, or can look. I've already been able to determine what pieces I'm missing and found some on ebay for replacements (I just need to pull the trigger and buy them).

While not the same generation as yours, I like these guys' paint schemes:

And here's the photo index for all the Delta related pics (scroll down to drill presses):

And I've been reviewing the publication reprints:

The publication reprints are pretty cool. Some are about shop set-ups and project how-tos. Kind of like the Garage Journal for the mid-century...

Must be something wrong with me, I find that site VERY hard to navigate and search. I've been looking for a teardown/rebuild thread since 8 am, it's now almost 11 am. I have however read all the links you guys provided. Thanks for those. Keith

Man, those guys over at OWWM are making me feel a little bit bad. Looks like mine is a pretty rare piece. Here is a quote. "You have the uber rare...rear 2 piece cast belt guards and even more uber rare...I don't see the obligatory cracks near the rear, congrats."

Oh well. I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep it as long as it checks out and is a tight machine after I get done with replacing the bearings and such. Keith
