Mine is a very old unit. Im not sure the exact year but it has the cast iron cover.?
I had been?thinking maybe i seated the bearings?wrong. But yes they are the right ones. I was walked through the purchase over at OWWM or whatever the sight is called. From what i was told this machine was one of the "good"old?ones.
Anyway this is a compressor conversation my bad. Lots of old comoressors to be had on craigslist in the northeast. I would have to know what i was looking for though.

Not everything old is good.? There are old machines that were mediocre or worse when they were new, and Delta made a lot in that category. ? In the middle of the last century they made a lot of stuff for hobbyists, high school shops, gas station/auto repair types, etc.? That said, I have a DP-17 and runout is not a problem.? Maybe your spindle is bent.? It's not a very heavy duty machine and has a pretty lightweight spindle.?
Most old air compressors are quality however.
