Another near miss . . . sold to a woodworker in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

An early model 37-315, 5&1/2 foot long bed jointer on a cast iron base would have made a great restoration project. Oh well, I hope the guy in PA enjoys it.

I'm not entirely sure about the 'born-on-date'. When I called Delta's service number, they told me that the serial number provided by the owner came up in their records as a model 17-670, 17" drill press . . .
