I have an old Walker-Turner bench-top drill press, probably built in 1953.
The tag shows "Model No. 1226-43", "Serial No. 000078" (really!). This machine is in just about perfect condition, no rust, no holes in the table, good paint, absolutely tight bearings. It has very low hours - so low, in fact, that it still has the original belt (labeled "Walker Turner"). It runs like a champ. It originally belonged to my father, who bought it new (he's not around any more, so I can't ask him when or how). He taught me how to "build stuff" using this when I was a kid, along with a 9" South Bend lathe (in similarly perfect condition) and also a DeWalt 10" radial arm saw, which I still use weekly. The thing is, I also have a Harbor Freight mill-drill, which absolutely sucks as a mill, but works pretty well as a drill press, and an Rong-Fu table-top mill that I've barely used, but that seems pretty solid, so I really don't have a need for a third drill press. So, with significant reservations, I'm considering selling the Walker-Turner. Anybody have any idea what the best route to sell it would be, and what it's worth? Or am I being a complete idiot? Thanks! ~~ Mark Moulding |
