Power King Drill Press Resto (Kind of)

[Xtrom]

I was in the market for an old bench top drill press and this came up. It was a good deal, or so I thought... I put new bushings in it but the quill return spring and cover are missing, it turns too fast for what I plan to do and after getting it back together after paint it has a terrible amount of runout. I hope it's in the chuck but haven't had time to check it out. Other than new bushings I just cleaned everything up and painted it. I didn't find much information on the Power King drill presses on here so thought I'd put this up. Mine is pre 1947 as they were bought out by Atlas at that time. If anybody has parts I can use please let me know. If I can get the runout repaired I will build a slow speed conversion for it.

Right now it has a 1/3 HP Dayton motor on it. I'm also missing some components for the quill pulley and it has the wrong handle on it. I'm sure a Craftsman will show up now that I have the time invested in this one!
