Went rust hunting with plans to go to three yard sales that mentioned tools and to the Flea Market (hadn't done this in a coon's age or two). Got lost looking for the last Yard Sale and went to the FM, never found anything :( and the LOML suggested we try again to go the the last YS as they were going to be at it until 2pm and it was only noon. He had a Jet 17" drill press ($399 Amazon) in nearly new condition that he sold for $100:D. Wasn't looking for a replacement, but could NOT turn it down. Now I have an 8" Delta benchtop DP to figure out what to do with.

Minor rust on the table and column and a broken crank handle. Nothing that won't fix with a little work.

That's a wonderful fairy tale alright.... with a picture it might even be a reality! :D

Edit: Thanks for the photos. Looks like you got a great deal!
