Comments:

This lathe was restored a few years ago using parts from four other lathes to get the best of all parts. The only non-original Delta part is the switch rod, which I made from 7/32" round steel stock. The stand boards were cleaned up considerably from their as-found condtion, but not to the point of removing every single nick and stain in order to preserve as much of their original thickness as possible.
