Comments:

This was one of my first machines. Bought at a sale in Omaha around 1989. It is a Craftsman badged Atlas. A sweet machine in a small package. I run it on a DC motor with a variable transformer. Beats changing belts and works great for flycutters, forstner bits and the like. IIRC I payed $85.00 to plug and play.
