Comments:

This was bolted to the work bench at my buddy's shop. He said it was in the way and to come and get it, so I did! It is missing a few pieces and is unfortunately missing some identification, but by using the manuals and resources available both here and on the Garage Journal, I have been able to identify the machine and approximate year of manufacture. It is missing the Craftsman badge on the front of the head and the machine turned decorative band as well. Also, the switch has been moved to the front of the machine with a functional but hideous household type switch and box. The motor appears to be the original Dunlap, and it works quite well.

Plans are for a complete tear down and blasting to get rid of the surface rust which has developed on it. Then a fresh coat of paint and reassembly. I will also likely modify the switch to something internal that will route the wires inside and locate the switch off of the left side.

If anybody has any info, comments, a line on missing parts or advice, feel free to leave em or contact me!

(Admin-10/13/2011: revised specs. Dunlap motors of this style did not have capacitors.)

Comments: Front right side of the drill press. Note the single lever with burgundy plastic knobs. Also notice the well done but aesthetically displeasing wiring.

Comments: Front close up. Here you can see where the original tag was and where the turned metal band is missing. The rivets are still in place. The cast pattern behind the band is actually pretty cool too.
