Vintage bench top drill press for sale

[RJAAAAAA]

This is a nice old drill press, not real big and heavy like most, I beleive they call this a "camel back" drill. I have torn it down cleaned and painted it and put it back together. It is a Ganedy - Otto from Ill.,probably from the 40's it's a #28, the machine was used by the Kemp Machinery Co. in Baltimore, MD. It stands about 35" tall and weighs in at 80#. Everything spins nice and easy, I've never powered it with anything to use it but it should work great. It's a two speed belt driven, there is a small pulley on the drive shaft that may have connected to an electric motor. The unit is located in Fairfield,Pa. 17320 and is a local pick up only. I'm asking $199.00  . thanks for looking

Welcome to the forum RJAAAAAA. How about telling us a little about your interests and tool collecting pursuits in the Welcome board section. Makes it a lot easier to deal with folks that show an established interest in the forum, and lets us know who you are!! You will find a great group of people with similar interests on the board, and probably make some new "tool collector" friends!!

That said, I had one similar, I think it was a No. 15. Sold it for $35 at a blacksmith conference. Now that I think about it, it may have been a Buffalo. Can't remember, been a few years ago.

Paint scheme is interesting. Is that based on original researched color or just personal preference? I love seeing old machinery restored to original colors and look, based on old catalog photos.

I'd love to have this, but not within my budget and/or price point for a tool like this. Painted up and restored like this, is  more of "look at" then a use it tool.

Just my opinion, as I know someone will jump up, on, or behind me with a flaming post about criticizing peoples pricing. Not the intent of my post at all. Enjoy the forum!!

Thanks for looking and your input, I'll post some personal info as some as time permits. I painted the drill press the way I thought it would look nice, I think the original color was probably all black. Your right about being a LOOKER although it is certainly up to the task if you wanted to use it. Not to many around and it would be a great addition to any shop.
