Whats a Delta 13" planer worth?

[MotorSeven]

Hey, i need some help. I found a Delta DC-33 13" planer used in good condition. The guy wants $600 inc/stand. This is an older(86?) 2 horse single phase/220, sinle speed planer. I only found one other one online and the asking is $750. Anyone have any experience with this machine? It will be for personal use.

I know that the older tools are made better, but that seems a bit high to me.

I bought a 15", two speed, 220, for $600, then put a hundred back into it fixing it the way I wanted it (vacum chip collector)

That is a bit high...I had one and I didn't like the single speed. I replaced it with a 15 and I love that.
I would think the 450-500 range would be good for one in good shape ;D ;D

Wow, you guys are quick ;D, Thanks...oh and it has carbide blades and two sets of reg blades. I think i'll limit myself  at $500....it's local so no shipping involved.

   MS,
   If the head moves up ,'n down,instead of the table,it will be easier to set up in,and out feed tables. I got three planners,and all three the table moves  >:( >:(

Dail,
Yep the head moves not the base, and i picked it up yesterday. I needed to store it, so at breakfast i asked some co-workers for help storing it for a month. One of the guys dad has 3 hangers at the airport. So we are there unloading the planer and he says, hey are you interested in a Whirlpool washer & dryer, and an upright freezer, we bought a new house and don't need these(they are less than 2 years old).... . I went home and told the wife that we were even-steven: $500 planer=free washer/dryer/freezer! It's kinda funny how some days things just work out...then there are those other days.......

Man, when we head to TN next month we are definatly gonna look like the Clampit's.....3 kayaks, table saw, radial arm saw,planer, 4-wheeler,20'sawmill,washerdryerfreezer, 3 weeks worth of camping gear....etcetc ;D
