Picked some this up today from WalMart - used it - and will keep on using it!  Pleasantly surprised to find it is still being made with a minor difference - The roll I bought is 18" by 24 feet.

Hello Everyone,
I just acquired a Delta 40-560 from my father-in-law.  The user’s manual is dated 3-1-90, so it looks like this has got some age to it.  After getting it home and reading the user’s manual I plugged it in and discovered the slow speed setting wasn’t working.  Seemed the rocker switch was the culprit; after a little prodding the slow speed switch setting now works.  No idea how much use this machine has on it.  My father-in-law got it from a neighbor clearing out their garage several years ago and he doesn’t have any history on how much it was used and my father-in-law never used it.  But it seems to cut just fine.  I bought a variety pack of blades from Lowes and made some test pattern cuts using the different blades.  I now have a new addiction, er, I mean hobby!  Started researching online and stumbled onto the scroll saw village website and that led me here after seeing several mentions to you and your website.  You have a wealth of information here and I look forward to benefitting from it.  Thanks for maintaining it.
