C L find. The older gent was forced into a retirement home. This was in storage. He built and rebuilt airplanes and was selling most of his tools. One of the pleasures for me in searching out old tools is the luxury that affords me in meeting the nicest and most interesting people. It continues to be a pleasure. This W/T is a bench model with a acme screw to the right of the unit for adjusting the drill head up and down. It is completely stock! The spindle bearings are true. The only problem I found is in the 1/2 HP Hoover motor. It won't run unless it is coaxed by spinning the motor pulley. I am assuming it is the capacitor. I'll check with you boys on the forum and see if I can get the right information. It is beauty all right and is very heavy. Sure runs smooth. The bottom table has no drill marks and is like new. Clean up should be easy, a little lubrication, a buffing and with a coat of paint, it will indeed find a home in the shop!
