This is the smaller Driver Line press. According to WT catalogs it was meant to be a benchtop machine but the original owner modified it by brazing a taller column onto a cast iron tripod base. When I bought it the entire press (head, column, base, motor, all of it) was painted red. I repainted everything. using Pittsburgh Paints' PittBull battleship gray. The column I cleaned up but otherwise left alone. I think the motor is original, and I repainted that with a crinkle finish on the end bells. I also repainted the badge taking some liberties with the color scheme. It came with a single motor pulley that I have since replaced with a step pulley.
