Looks real similar to what I have. If so, it's a Delta DP 220.
It's not. It's a 17" drill press. Much heavier than the DP 220.
Looks pretty rough and the table looks homemade.
I'd be surprised if it even has table elevation and a wide speed range.
That's probably just an auxillary top over the original table.
It does have table elevation. All of that model drill press had table elevation, and you can see the elevating rack under the table.
Delta made that model from the late 1930s to 1960. The one in the ad is post-WWII vintage, made somewhere between 1948 and 1960. I can tell that from details visible in the photos.
That style was one of the best drill presses Delta and Rockwell ever made. Many of them are still in use.
It's a 5-speed drill press. They made them in two speed ranges, low and high. That one is probably the high speed model, but there's no way to be sure of that without being able to see the pulleys under the belt guard. If it's the high speed model, speed range is approximately 700 to 4000 RPM, which would make it an excellent woodworking drill press. The low speed model was mainly a metalworking drill press.
Thanks everyone, I will stay away.
If you're interested in a vintage-style drill press, those old 17" Deltas are one of the best. I'd suggest you go look at it, just to gain the experience, and to see one of that model close up.
If everything is working properly, and it may well be, because those were very durable industrial-quality drill presses, it could be worth the asking price or close to it. If the seller is willing to bargain, $150 for one of that model in good operating condition and not missing any parts would be a very good price.
The old Delta 17" presses do sometimes sell for less than $150 but they usually come with some kind of problem at those prices, like missing or worn parts that can cost you far more to fix than the asking price of this one, so that's why it's worth a closer look.
