recent purchase from craigs list.

Just purchased these from CL. The DP is a Delta DP220, with a Craftsman Companion motor. The Saw is a Delta 10 inch, also with a Craftsman Companion motor. Everything seems to work good. My searching shows them to be 1930's models, but I'm a newbie at this so I'm not so sure. Bought them for under the asking price of $175 for both. Paint seems to be original. Buyer stated they were his father's, and had no other info. Was this an OK deal, and are these machines OK

I would have paid that for the drill press alone.

You did well, they appear to have nice paint and just need a good cleaning and ready for another 80 years!

If you restore that... It needs its own thread!
(with lots of pictures!)

318fekim, I almost called about that DP myself. But since I already have 50's Craftsman, I decided against. Good Luck and I hope it brings years of enjoyment.

no restoration planned,... It runs, and has a jacobs chuck. I watched it for a while @ 75 when he dropped it I figured what the heck. For as little as I need one it'll work fine.
Heck if nothin else I bet I could get half of my money back as scrap!
