Machine Information
Serial Number:	032956
Machine Type:	Drill Press
Machine Description:	Model 73
Owner:	Jay Hoffman
Manufacture Date:
Notes:	Source=Owner's submission. Owner's notes: Purchased from a local auction for $20. It also has a Defense Plant Corporation badge with B31 stamped into it, so likely from late 40's. I did a light restoration, oiled and greased everything and repainted to match other metalworking tools in my shop. Retrofitted with coolant pump, vise, 1HP 110v Motor with VFD, lighting, and inverted trailer jack to lift that 65lb table! This unit is fitted with the upgraded XL oil table, which I fit with a 12v coolant pump system and that inverted trailer jack to raise and lower it.
