Found and purchased locally from the BOYD. PO's dad worked at Honeywell as a tech and used this DP in his home shop as part of his machinist hobby. It had sat unused for at least a decade and was quite rusted at base. Column took a good effort to get out. This was a fairly quick restore; 12 hours over five nights with my brother helping on two nights. This DP will be going in his home shop to replace a Chiwaneese bench top. He finally stepped up and got involved in restoration work. Colors are rattle can satin black and cobalt blue metallic. Column was chucked in my small C'man metal lathe with crude support at end and came out great. Light was a 'Bay purchase and motor that came on drill is a non-badged 1/3 HP motor.

Previous owner was located in Minnesota.
