10/2023 Purchased in Rochester, NY from a machine reseller. I was told it came from a clean out of a local shop. The ad showed the left side of the press, with the obvious quill return assembly and quill lock missing. Ignoring those two things it was obvious to me there were some interesting parts on the other side that needed an immediate closer look! Ahh yes a rare No. W33 Foot Lever Feed Control. Motor is an original Atlas 1/2hp in need of new bearings.
