Comments:

We were driving to my in-laws, when spotted a yard sale. Stopped and saw the post drill, which was rusty but mostly intact with exception of the foot. Talked to seller who said it had been his Grandfather's, but that he had only attempted to operate it once when he was a kid, at which time he was "caught" and told not to use it again. Seller was thinking I was interested in it being a wall hanger, so was pleased when I told him my goal was to get it running again. Lots of wire brushing to remove rust, then oiling. Needed just a fix on the chuck (i.e. a spring), but the self-advancing feature was a bit more of challenge, as wasn't sure why it wouldn't work. Found in time that bolt was tightened too much, so once I got it loosened and cleaned/lubricated, I still couldn't get it to go. Felt problem was with spring and with some good advise from Steve Baum, who also has same model, was able to change out old spring with new and things now work as they should.
