Good afternoon all - I caved on bought Rick_B's 17" Delta press, so passing along it's baby brother, my previously restored DP220 (14").
This is a FANTASTIC quality press for it's size, no contest against any new presses of this size in terms of build quality, and was rebuilt nuts and bolts restoration, to include new bearings, etc. At the time of the restoration - I deliberately did NOT paint it, because A) it was so clean for it's age that I felt it deserved to hang onto it's original paint, and B) it's old enough to have cool decals on the side that were still intact and I didn't want to loose.
During the rebuild, I upgraded several items:
A) I found and added the table raising mechanism for this press, along w/ the larger "production" table.
B) I also kept the original smaller/ standard table that I use as a very handy shelf as shown.
C) I was lucky enough to find the SUPER rare cast-iron belt cover, which doesn't add anything performance wise, but is certainly cool
$500obo, picked up in Sanford - happy to help load.
Thanks!
