Comments:

Purchased at an antique mall. No known history, but it is in excellent shape, with possibly an original Delta/Rockwell motor mfg by Marathon Electric. I did a minor cleanup on this drill press, but no repainting. Based on the SN, it was mfg in 1952 and appears to be in original condition - note the paint condition and motor switch. Manufacturing date was determined from this website:

Comments: Not a full restoration, just a clean up from the way i found it. Also, note the wimpy switch and no arc of shame.
