I purchased it from a Guy in CT who told me his Dad purchased it brand new. It's a very complete machine not missing one original screw or part. Of course dirtyy and greasy but good shape. Once I started cleaning it I reaslized the original paint was worn, but OK, so I decided not to paint. The original owner made a third pulley set up so as a model 17-207 Slow Speed pulley, this drill press gets real slow.. Trickey finding the right belts but the third pulley is pretty cool. Motor is the Delta 1/2 HP motor with the pull rod. Runs very quiet and smooth like a sewing machine. Badging is great. Table rasier works great all gears are perfect. Table is very good.
