Alright I know this picture is the same quality and clearness as the 1967 Bigfoot sighting video but this is the best picture the seller has sent me so far...
Again I know it isn't the best picture at all but I have seen you all work magic before!
To me it looks like a 1970s Craftsmans drill press but I have no idea the size of the drill press... Any information would be great they claim it works how it should but they don't know if they have the top or much about it.

Work your magic tell me what we got here and ballpark price

I have that drill press but I demoted it to a spare over at the cabin.

It has a very wide speed range but that's about it's only benefit. It's more useful for metal then the other 95% of older DP's with only a 4 speed/2 pulley setup.

I hate the rubber band belt. It constantly turns over so that the V isn't in the pulley groove. It's an oddball belt but still available from what I can tell.

This machine lacks table tilt (but there is an optional add on table that will do this). It also lacks table lift, table rotate and table tram.

With the add on table it's a total PIA to raise or lower the table.

I also believe it also has an oddball chuck with a locking collar.

I'd keep shopping. I hate this machine and wouldn't give more then $50 for it.
