Thank you for the information! Judging from the base plate, I think it was originally gray, I would like to replace the head frame trim, and do a minor restoration. Is there a good source for parts for these machines

Thank you so much for the help, i was able to pull it apart cleaned all the gunk off and now it moves fully. Here is a side shot.

Thank you! Here are some pictures, I have no idea of the date of manufacture as there is no plate on the base. I also am looking around trying to figure out how to take it apart. The 2 images of inside show the chuck fully up then fully down, when it stops it feels solid

Good evening! today i bought a 1950s? Craftsman floor model drill press with the 2 handle design, im not sure if the chuck travel is adjustable, but when pulling the handle, the chuck only moves down 1" is that all it moves or am i missing something? Many thanks in advance
