Sorry, but I can't actually dig most of this out; I'll save the sad story, but my parents have to move, and I want to make sure this stuff that can't be moved by us at least comes to some kind of use. Anyone who's been working around this stuff for any length of time throw out approximate numbers for these tools:

Craftsman (?) Scroll saw

Unknown full-size belt/disc sander

Parks planer

Table for saw below

Unknown wood lathe carriage. Suspect Delta/Atlas, based on other machines.

Unknown table saw. Cannot access the name plate. Has 3 belts under the cover, and uses screw-in fuses. Floor mounted, no wheels, obviously.PXL_20230317_191747958.jpg
Old Craftsman radial-arm saw

Corner notcher, cannot find the plate

Delta(?) Belt-drive miter saw

Full-size Delta drill press.



All the carriageways on them move freely, but they obviously need quite a bit of cleaning. I don't know the state of any of the electrical components, but the table saw, drill press, and planner should work...albeit with the deferred maintenance.

Any ideas here? We're pulling out hair out with this...

Let me send these pics to a friend that’s married to a master carpenter and custom woodworker. He has a shop at home that’s a double wide garage he might be able to identify some of this stuff.

Never gonna let you down.
IMO, based on the condition seen in the photos, I’d probably worry less about the value and just focus on finding a good home for them. If I was in your position, I’d sell the delta drill press, everything else I’d try to find someone who’ll actually use it and not scrap it.

All of these machines (except for the Radial Arm Saw) are desirable machines in certain quarters. See http://www.vintagemachinery.org/
For example, the "Unknown table saw" is a very desirable Delta Unisaw. The large bowl which covers the end of the motor and is called a "Unisaw Cast Iron goose egg Motor Cover" is worth around $200 all by itself. The Parks planer and the belt disc sander are also highly sought after. The bad news is that these machines are in pretty rough condition but could likely be restored to like new condition with a bit of work.
