Default 13" cast iron Delta planer?

There is an ad in the paper for a 13" cast iron delta planer.
I guess that is from before my time, as I haven't seen anything like
that.

Assuming it is in good condition, is it superior to a lunchbox planer?
My 12" Makita works okay, but it just feels so tinny; would this Delta be
an upgrade? I don't have room or budget for a 15".


I don't know if it would be an up grade in cut quality but it would
probably be faster.


And maybe a little quieter then the universal motors on the lunchbox
planers.
