How old is my Craftsman 150 DP?

[wjhpc]

I just purchased a restored C 150 DP model # 103.24530. Unfortunately, the motor tag has been scrubbed so no date available there. It is painted gold, but that was done in the resto, so can't tell original color. Could someone tell me the date range for the manufacture of this DP?

Thanks,

Jim

You might wander over to Old Woodworking Machines (www.owwm.org) and its sister site, Vintage Machinery (http://vintagemachinery.org/).  Those guys can help a lot, and Vintage Machinery has a lot of documentation, machine photos, etc., to help you with fixing it up.
