I don't really have a "thing" for old arn but the combination of being cheap and wanting quality has definitely led my tool acquisitions in that direction.
1939 "Four Footer Unisaw"
Similar vintage Delta bandsaw
And a Delta scroll saw from the same era (I really should sell this one as I don't see using it much. Let me know if you want it
)
All 3 came from an estate in the Milwaukee area just a short distance from the old factory.

Here is a drill press I noticed recently on CL. The seller said it works and the only thing he is aware of that is missing is the belt guard. I am thinking about going to look at this. Any ideas on things to check or I should know about this one? Is the price reasonable?

Not too bad a price, definitely not killer. A buddy of mine is selling me a DP220 (bench version) for $150. I try to talk him down at least $100 considering the fact that it needs new paint.
If it's 3 phase, work that in, too, as you'll need to buy a VFD for it (~$150).
Semper fi,

Cool thread. Lots of great machines up there.
A couple of mine.
1946 Unisaw
1950s Atlas Jointer
1950 Boice Crane Band saw
1940s Craftsman Combo Sander
1950 Delta Scroll Saw
1940s Crescent No9 TS
1976 Rockwell DP
1914-1915 27" Hermance Machine Co BS (Silver Made)
Not ready for work yet.
THis one is actually in service I just haven't taken an updated photo yet.
1940 something Walker Turner RAS. The geared head gives a 4.5" depth of cut with a 12" blade.
1940s 8" Crescent Light Jointer
Yates American J-180 18" Planer
and last but not least another not ready for work yet a late 1800' lathe by I don't know who. Still trying to figure that out.
Sorry for the long post. This has been kind of cathartic and eye opening. SWMBO might be right.

Here's my 1942 Power King scroll saw, now rigged as a sander since I got an RBI.
We do segmented turning, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

Restored this a few years ago and have been adding little extras over the years. Nicknamed the drill press of death.
