Delta 17-in Floor Type DP, Model 17-207 (Slow Speed), Serial#25-3489. I purchased this off of ebay for the opening bid of $150. The man I purchased it from had bought it from Purdue University, I am pretty sure they would have been the original owner. It has an original Delta 3/4 HP motor. It is in pretty good shape overall but has several layers of paint. I recently disassembled it in order to move it into my basement shop. I will re-assemble it soon and use it as is, but plan to do a total restoration someday. The tags on this machine are in very poor condition, they appeared to have been heavily "cleaned" with something abrasive, at least they were not painted over. There is an interesting home made tag indicating the speeds with the belt at the different locations, not sure if I will keep this on the machine or not.
