Comments:

I got this drill press as a trade-in basket-case about 30 years ago. Missing small parts, bent spindle, broken belt guard, table full of holes, etc., but it had a perfect original 1/2 HP motor under several multi-colored layers of paint. It was repaired, stripped and repainted correctly, and put into service with a few non-original parts that I have managed to correct over the years, most recently the switch-rod. I think it is to the point of being very-nearly in original condition now. The picture is just a detail of the left side of the head and accessories mounted there as I don't think there's another such shot in the files.
