I have had older ones like the one in the photo, they are much the same. I currently have a newer version, 1955 1200series Light Heavy weight. Good luck and keep the picture coming as you do the restore. This link to Vintage Machinery has a PDF of Walker-Turner "Use of the Drill Press" which may help understand how the machine was designed. The small lift may be the way to oil spline bearings. Just need to know the mounting plate style. There is the potential that the motor does not work, but it should be easy to find a replacement. My present Powermatic V2800 has the threaded screw. My first Sears drill press have a screw on a collar which would always slip. This is a feature I now consider to be on "good" equipment. I do not know whether they led the industry, but for a long time were a well regarded brand.įor example, the second picture shows a threaded screw for depth stop adjustment. I have always considered the name Walker Turner with an manufacturer of some robust old machines. Nice score for only $5 this is a potential prize. I hope you do restore this can be a beauty
