Antique Delta Table saw

Hello, I recently inherited a Delta table saw from my Father after he passed away; this saw was also owned by his Grand Father. I suspect that the age of this saw is anywhere from 75 to 100 years old! I know for a fact that it is at the very least 40 years old because I remember it from when I was a kid. On one side there is a plate riveted to the housing that has a Serial Number on it (8 2205) and on the other side there are letters and numbers cast directly in the housing (TOS 203). This saw is in almost perfect condition and is totally operational! I was wondering what information you could provide on this model and its age. If need be, I can provide pictures of it, just contact me and let me know where to email them to. Any information you could provide would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you for your time.

Old Delta

John, I have just restored an old saw like yours. Mine is a combo with a six inch jointer on the same table. These saws were made from the latter 30's to the early fifties and can usually be dated by the table. Mine was probably made in the mid forties and has the same table style as yours.
