Comments:

I purchased this drill press from a gentleman who was selling his father-in-laws tools. I was able to get it for $50 and couldn't believe how good of shape it was in when I got there. It was my first vintage tool purchase but not my last. Didn't really take a lot of work to make it look good. I beleive the motor is original(GE) and maybe even the belt but I'm not sure. I have just finished cleaning it and painting it and can't wait for years of use. They just don't make them like this anymore.
