Title: Amazing SCORE at a yard sale!
Post by: lebhuntfish on June 04, 2014, 10:46:03 pm

Well the wife and I went out of town last weekend to visit the family. Drove about 2.5 hours south witch took us to Collinsvill Oklahoma. We got there early and went to a few yard sales with my cousin's. We stopped at one and he had a whole shop full of vintage tools for sale. I picked up these two for less than 75 for the both.  A 1957 Delta Rockwell 28-290 14" band saw.  And a 12" disc and 4"belt sander with a dewalt badge on it but it is made by delta in 1961 called a finisher. Both tools work great. The band saw needs some new tires and a blade and both need a little cleaning up. I'm really excited to get some staves through them. Patrick.

Thanks everyone! With a little more research I found that the sander is actually made by atlas and that all of the parts are there. With the exception of one accessory. The belt sanding linear guide.

Those tools are worth at least $250 each in present condition, possibly even more to collectors. You got a great deal on them. Indeed, they are not made that way anymore. Most of the parts are drop-ins you can find at bearing supply or electric motor supply houses. Hold on to them. You won't find their like again---especially not at that price you paid.

Thanks Dharma, I was surprised after a little research about the parts. Pretty much as long as the cast holds out ties rest is repairable without too many specialty parts. Your right as well about the worth. The first thing I saw on a google search was the bansaw listed for 350. And a simular pander for about 400. I know for sure I got the deal of the century!

No luck in Branson this weekend. With the exception of a box of leather pieces for a dollar!
