I purchased this from Sean, in Lancaster PA through the site here. I need to contact him to see if he knows some history on it. It had at least three coats of paint--Original Delta gray, machine green, and brushed on light gray. It has been restored. I stripped it down, sandblasted all the parts, and sprayed the parts with a gravity feed paint gun. I uncovered the original "Delta Quality Tools" decal, which I'm trying to reproduce. I have added an old Furnace mag starter, new bearings, and a green indicator light, to fill the hole where the toggle switch was added in at some point along the way. I also had Cattail foundry cast a dust port for me since mine was missing. This thing runs great, especially for a 70 year old machine.
