King Seeley Craftsman DP pics

Picked this up Thanksgiving day from CL for $100. Thought I would share some pics. Pretty cool table adjuster add on, and it came with an original mortise attachment. Also it has a drill press light installed (ceramic bulb fixture :) ). Switches on left side are power for drill press and for the light. The guy I bought it from bought it used in 1970.

That's really beautiful. It looks aerodynamic, a bit like a '50s Johnson outboard motor that I used to have. You have to respect product engineers from that era. They somehow managed to make stuff that was functional but still had unique style.

The chain drive table elevator is cool, too.

Very cool! Good score on the air cleaner as well!

I have a little older benchtop version of the same. It's awesome. I have reasonably new cabinet saw, planer, jointer, etc. But when I show people my shop, this is the first thing I show them. Ditto on the "They don't build them like they used to" comment. Function with a touch of style.
