I found this on CL very near me. I bought it from a gentleman that buys up liquidated inventory and this particular drill press was last owned by a company called M&S Systems which makes Home sound and intercom systems. From what I can tell, M&S moved their operation from Dallas to California and the move produced this sale. Coincidentally, the intercom system in my home is made by them. I feel like I got a pretty decent deal for $70 with free delivery and unload in my shop. It runs very smooth and strong but it's in for a restore. Everything is there other than two handles/knobs. Even as old as it is, it does not appear to have ever been used heavily. I failed to get a pic of the entire maching before I started to take it apart. I would appreciate any suggestions or comments about the machine or the restoration ahead of me. This will be my first restore.

Comments: Apparently it had been equipped with a foot feed. I will most likely remove this.
