the Jet and Delta are
exactly the same castings of bed head and tailstock and the same motor.

I don't believe this is true, Leo. My Delta midi has a different casting
shape than the Jet mini - especially in the headstock section. Jet's is
much more rectangular with well-defined corners - Delta's is more
rounded.
