I have been looking for a drill press for the last few months and came across this one on my local Craigs List

16 speed 1HP (16amp/60hz) circa 1999 and made in Taiwan.

Here it is in its new home

Drill press also came with a 6" vise

The seller pretty much had it in storage for the last few years. Outside of a little surface rust (it is all cast iron), it looks to be fairly new and in pretty good shape. I paid $150 for it. How did I do?
Quick question for you drill press experts pertaining to quill rattle. When I grab the chuck and rotate it one way and then the other, I feel a little bit of a loose slap (less then 1/8 inch from side to side). It remains consistent through the entire extension of the down lever. Is this going to be a major issue?
