I have the 1977 mill/drill and had problems with the motor when I first got it. Replaced with a new one with no problems. Worked fine for 20 minutes then would quit. Besides the usual snugging up my only complaint and it is my fault is it has the round post. When you loosen the head it makes it a lot more work to find the same position. I want to figure out a lock that will allow it to be raised and lowered without moving but that will be later. Am I happy, yes as it goes along with my old Atlas lathe.
With the play in them it always brings to mind a phase as a gunner when in the Force's. Always lay in depression.
