I picked this up in March 2026. It was in decent condition but needed work before it could be used. The spindle bearings were bad and replaced with 6202 5/8 bearings. The pulley bore is shimmed to fit snugly on the spindle sleeve. It still has the leather washer on the quill at the depth stop. Next to be addressed, I need a stepped motor pulley. When I first ran this i was a little nervous of the work needed. Afterwards, this is the smoothest running drill press I've owned so far. Im very happy with it. It seems originally it was gray, then painted lime green, then gray again. I blasted it and painted it rustoleum hammered paint possibly gray,,I can't tell. It looks brown in low light and dark gray in bright light. Next I will sand down the column and then the table and base will get refinished.
