Comments:
Purchased in Wichita, Kansas, for $125. The owner said it had been in the family for decades. The insulation had crumbled off of the power cord and exposed bare wires, so I couldn't see if it ran. The top pulley guard came with the drill, but was unattached. The drill press was missing one of the three handle balls, the spring return assembly, the table pin, and the quill lock handle. I was able to source all but the quill lock handle on OWWM. I purchased a new K3 chuck key for the Jacobs 6A chuck. I replaced the four bearings in the press, the power cord, and the belt. After a basic cleaning and reassembly, the drill press runs great!
