Tempting? If you are close you need to grab it. You can sell the base and table each for more than the $20

Somebody grab this!!!...... They don’t make them like that anymore!!
OLD TOOLS and OLD GUYS RULE!

BTW! Love that 2 wire zip cord!..... And it must be changed.

I’m looking at it tonight.

"IF" you are a really good negotiator maybe you can grab this for $5.01

BTW! Glad to see someone here can grab it...... Old iron is the best!

That looks like a great drill press. The cord and plug look a little scary though.

I got it. Cord will be replaced and a switch will be added. Runs pretty smooth but the belt is installed criss crossed. Not sure why and need to verify the motor is spinning the right way. Weighs about $100 lbs.

Bill, Thanks for posting it!

Good for you but don’t let the story die here. Post pictures after you clean it up and update the wiring and switch.
