A friend reached out to see if I could recommend a value for a big old camelback drill press that remains in a building of an estate. Also asked if I'd be interested. Well, I already have a monster camelback drill, but I do love them and I could perhaps see having two. I have an idea of what I'd offer for it, but I'd rather find him some honest recommendations outside of my opinion, from some knowledgable folks (here) and be able to point him to this thread. So, I'd be grateful if any of you fellow machinery guys would care to chime in with your idea of a fair price range, given size and condition of the machine as best we can see from these few pics.
Also I've not seen one exactly like this, in the frame castings. He says it's around 8 ft tall, and from the pics it has power feed, back gears, and a traveling head. Any idea of who may have made this one? Haven't seen in person, and the pics don't show any marks on the castings. I'd estimate a swing of 24" to 32" based on pics, but what do you think?
Thanks in advance!
