In good condition I'd estimate $500. If the tables are not flat it's
not worth much at all. A little rust is ok.

I spent maybe $800 on a Delta Milwaukee that's 54 years old, after it had
been gone completely through by a friend of mine (a single digit OWWWM
member.) A really sweet machine, although I don't work it hard all that
often.

When a machine is that old, who has been using it, and who has been
maintaining it makes a bunch of difference it what you want to spend on it.
Had mine come from a stranger, I would have spent less than half that much
on old iron, or not bought it.

Does that help at all?
