I would like to sell 8 Delta machines purchased by my Father in 1948. I have a grinder, drill press, shaper, belt sander, scroll saw, lathe, band saw, and a unisaw, all ready to use. I’ve gotten some price opinions from thepatriotwoodworker.com site. Are they valued as vintage antiques or just usable machines? Sample shown.
welcome Gary…
to a collector of “old arn” these machines are middle aged…
old arn web sites may be your best bet for the information you’re looking for…
my old Deltas are mostly WWII vintage and not especially valuable dollar wise…
OEM motors will devalue the machines to a user…
Welcome to the forum, Gary.
Wow those are the best machine ever made for the wood shop, even though they are old. In my opinion they will never become obsolete. Even if they don’t bring top dollar, they will give the new user a lifetime of use. All cast iron bases and housings. at one time they were the backbone of the industry and every woodworker drooled over having a Delta shop.
You might list your location and who ever buys them will have to have some husky help to move them…

Thanks for the reply. They are all located in Bellevue, WA.
