Comments:
Walker Turner SD-80 1933 drill press. Was very rough, but works well. I found lift mechanism very unique, weight and chain assembly conveniently raises drill up after use. I assume was add on, however was early add on, as looks as old as machine. Bought of CL...I'm sure there is a great story behind it, however the previous owner bought 20 years ago and did not know the history. Restoration is nearly complete. Kind'a wish I didn't paint as I prefer old patina.
