Comments:

I purchased this from OWWMer Fritz Allison a few months ago when I bought a Craftsman pedestal stand from him. It was serendipity; I went to see the stand and admired his model 150 drill press. He said "Well, maybe you should look at this." On the floor under a tarp was this DP, and I found room in the Forester for that as well. There is something about the contours that appeals to me, and I think I'll still look for a 150.
For most entries on this web site the vintage for this model is estimated to be the 1950s, and one (Dean Franklin) is as early as 1947. I found what appears to be the same model in a 1951 Sears catalog, but the picture has "Craftsman" on the base, which mine does not.
Mine took a spill some time in the past and the crank levers have been snapped off. I can rescue two of them, but I am on the lookout for replacements for all three.
Back to your place in line, fella! I'll get to you some day!
