I just got back from a pre-sale viewing at a local school. They've got several Delta tools and one Oliver. They are all 3-phase. What I'm looking for is any info on them and advice as to whether it is worthwhile to change the motors out to avoid the 3-phase situation. It seems as though I've seen mention of a website specifically for old tools, anyone know what it is? Here's the list and the serial #'s (they all lack model #'s except the Oliver planer):
Delta Milwaukee Crescent 8" jointer Serial # 317-B
Delta Scroll Saw 20"? Serial # CJ6017
Delta Bandsaw 18-20" Serial #687-B
Delta Tablesaw 10" Serial # J331
Oliver Planer 20" Model # 399 Serial # 75057
It's a sealed bid auction which ends 6/3/04. The tablesaw and jointer are the only ones I have much interest in but I may bid on them all if you guys think they're worth the time.
Thanks in advance.
Jerry
