As Dr Lara is wont to say...

I've an old one as well and have no clue, either -- this one is of the
overlap era w/ old Delta; a few of the castings such as the fence are
identical to those on the small lightweight shaper of some 20 yr later
vintage I bought new.

Realistically, probably best chance there is is to go look at what's
been submitted at OWWM...

Look at some of the early Delta stuff, too, depending on the actual age
as in mine you may find a lot of overlap. I've never tried to see if
could find any actual markings on mine; when I'm in the shop and have a
chance I'll try to see if can find anything useful that might help...
What's the size/weight/spindle(s), etc., details on what you've got???
