Finally finished rebuilding my Levin drill press. Picked this thing up off ebay for a reasonable price expecting it to need work, and did it ever. Showed up with oil dripping from the switch housing, a frozen spindle and 3 pounds of grime. Rewired the motor, stripped and painted the castings, made new idlers, replaced the index pin in the spindle, and put in new spindle bearings. It ran through the break-in process with no issues. It is going to be nice having this up and running.
