I ran across an old Solberga SE725 on Craigslist a few weeks back. The seller had picked up a dozen drills at some surplus auction and was having trouble getting rid of this one, mainly because it was 3 phase 440v. In addition to that dilemma, he did not have 3 phase available to show that it worked. Normally I am not a gambler, but I was feeling lucky! ... that makes me sound like a gambler.
Anyhow, got it to the shop and woo-hoo it works, power down feed and all. I *think* this machine came from the former General Dynamics plant (Lockheed Martin now days) which is right down the road. It is painted a baby blue (or at least it's baby blue now) and there is what looks like an asset tag which reads 'GD/FW' maybe that is something else entirely.
Is there any way to determine the age via serial number?
Also, is it possible to find a manual online?
I contacted HH Roberts, but all they could really tell me was 'obsolete'.
