I hope it's already sitting in your shop. If it runs it's a steal. Lot's of parts are available for the old Deltas and their clones. It doesn't have the factory base but that will suffice. There are much more qualified people than I that should chime in soon but that seems like a great deal.

Im right there with Ron. If it runs it's worth $75 - and maybe even if it doesnt.
He who hesitates is lost - go buy that thing!

Looks like an older made in USA Delta, if it's in good condition it would sell here for $400 to $500, at $75 it's a steal.

Looks like the part you are pointing to is the rear blade guard. Material doesn't really matter it just prevents accidental contact with the blade. My Canadian made Rockwell has a metal guard, my Asian clone had a wooden guard, both work, no issue.

My old Milwalkee/Delta 14"'s guard in that location is wood. I believe it to be original

I'd have to build a nicer base, but that's just me.

Maybe back to back with the drill press.

Nice score.
