I bought this at a live auction in Brooklyn,NY on wednesday January 31,2007 for the total sum of $55.The three boring motors are 3/4 h.p.,220 volts,3 phase.The machine is complete and in good working condition.It was still being used up to the day of the auction.The two outside motors adjust 18"from the center motor and also pivot upwards for offset drilling.Above the Oliver name plate is another brass plate which says;Erected By C.Frey,P.Hoffert.I have seen this on some other Oliver machines of the same vintage.I wonder if these workers ever thought this machines would still be in use some 75+ years later.
