FLOOR DRILL PRESS NEEDS REPAIR, $60, Calgary, AB

Reminds me of the time I found one at a yard sale. Someone had partially disassembled it and lost the entire quill assembly, but the rest looked good. I gave him $20.00 for what remained, contacted the ITC location where they were imported into Canada, talked to a guy in the toolroom there, and ended up with a complete quill assembly from a machine that had been dropped in shipping, paying very little for it. Over 20 years later I'm still using my oh-so-cheap drill press.
 
40 bucks for a chuck, looks like youd need to fab a table though, or is that it leaning against the foot? On/off switch missing. They also dont show the handle...
