Anyone recognize this drill press?

[MushCreek]

I saw an odd little drill press for sale. In all of my years around machinery, I've never seen one like it. Sorry, I only have the one picture.

The seller posted another pic. I'd go look at it, but it's 4 hours away (FB seems to think that it's within 100 miles). I'm surprised that no one here has responded.

That would be a cool project.

I can't understand how someone can put up a sales ad and the item is covered in junk.

Thanks for the Link; incredible source of machine tool information.

And insure that the pics convey the absolute minimum of information.

IMO, if you're selling an old throwaway piece of machinery that very few are interested in, it's either getting a bite from a buyer or not. So cleaning, polishing, waxing, or sprucing up are all a waste of time.

Moving the **** piled on top of it is too much trouble? Getting a picture of the motor plate and/or badge of the tool?

I guess I'm only half as lazy as I thought.

Amen! The first pic has the blurry badge which might have helped.

Dunno who made it but ya gotta love the wiring.

Don’t know what the original listing was asking for $$, or how many items he was selling, but if his intention was to move along an old drill press (and/or other stuff) with minimal time investment and a minuscule money return, I don't think the Bar Keepers Friend can would make much of a difference.
That drill press listing is probably the last stop before the town dump.

$50. Probably barely worth that, although I like the looks of it.

I can't wait to see your used car ad: Car for sale.

If you like the looks, offer 25. If they can't be bothered to clean it up they'll probably take it.

That looks like a great project if you have the time.

Or offer to haul it off.

Too far away; 4 hours each way. Funny, I see ads all the time that say something like 'Transmission for sale'. No make, no mention of if it's manual or automatic. Nothing about the condition. Then they complain about all of the stupid calls they get.

Definitely not worth a 4 hour each way trip even if it was free IMO. And I'm a sucker for unusual drill presses.
