Registry Detail

Machine Information
Serial Number:	_7-4505
Machine Type:	Drill Press
Machine Description:	Floor stand drill press
Owner:	Rob Johnson
Manufacture Date:	1940
Notes:	Source=Owner's submission. Owner's notes: 14" Delta drill press appears to have original motor with plate intact, serial number plate, decal noting patents applied for. Obviously not original are belt, power cord, and wiring to light. Everything operates as new. Return spring returns "spindle" to top of stroke when released. No play at all in bearings/bushings. Much better machine than Delta manufactures today. Purchased 5/18/19 at a yard sale in Bakersfield California for $100. I returned the new (unopened) $450 model I had just purchased at Lowes.
