This was a craigs list find. Called the guy up and he just wanted the space and just had one picture of the drill press didn't even show the motor which it looks like it is a 3 speed motor that someone has set up a long time ago to be step speeds depending on the pulleys being used. Everything is still tight, smooth, no play and the motor runs in all 3 switch positions. It was worth the $20 bucks he was asking for sure. Drill table only has one additional hole which looks like he drilled on purpose to fit some sort of top to it so he could save the original table.
