This drill press does not belong to me - it belongs to Bill Buckman, who sent me the pictures. In Bill's words:

"A good friend of mine passed away two years ago and his widow just moved to Texas, selling all of my friend's woodworking equipment. My WT 920 drill press was among the items I purchased and I found it to be working perfectly. It originally was owned by my friend's father. There is absolutely no play in the spindle and it runs quietly. I intend to restore it to its original appearance, however, I don't want to damage the decal on the front which refers to the SKF bearings, "the highest priced bearings in the world". I am proud of this piece of equipment and hope to get many years of service from it."
