School shop frankendrill of 1960s and 1970s components. Purchased from InterSchola in parlous condition. Despite being incompetently maintained, the Reeves pulley bushings were very tight. Top head and lower head mounting holes did not line up---watch that when sourcing used parts from different eras. Came with most common motor mount---two square bars drilled and tapped.
