This is a Craigslist purchase August 2016. Rather than restoring with a new paint job, I elected to clean and lube the drill press. I soaked the hardware and casting in EvapoRust from Harbor Freight. Despite being "environmentally friendly", the stuff really works. Thankfully the table does not have an "arc of shame", only some light marks from a hole saw.
