Comments:

Bought this from a man who used it to drill bowling balls. It had an adjustable aluminum plate with hold down clamps mounted on the base. He didn't know where the work table was. So I'm looking for a work table for this. I did a little cleaning, lubed it up and painted with hammered gray, and mounted it on a table I had. It was green when I got it. It's too big for my use but I couldn't pass it up.**************According to the Sprunger history there were 50 of these ordered to drill bowling balls.(Per WIKI on VM.org-)

Per David Fry (former Sprunger employee): The drill press that was set up to drill bowling balls was one of 50 that were ordered by Brunswick. They did not have the table assembled on them. I assembled all 50 of them in December of 1963 and January 1964. The assembly took longer because the clamp had be precisely aligned to the spindle. Brunswick furnished the clamps and the alignment tool to set the drill presses up.
This one has long been sold.*************************************
