I can't find a tag on the hood over the pulley or on the column. Where else should I look? Any guesses as to who made this? (Ignore the color. The previous owner was an Allis-Chalmers collector.)

It looks like an old Delta

EDIT: Maybe a Walker-Turner

Looks somewhat like an old 'Buffalo' drill press. But then, a lot of them look alike. It would more than likely say Buffalo on it somewhere if it was though.
 
You all are wrong, but good guesses. I am 100% sure you have a Canedy-Otto 16" bench top drill press.

I own the same machine.

I think we have a winner:encourage:
 
That looks like it. Yep, we have a winner.

It just has so many things wrong with it right now. I think it's going to take forever to find parts for it but it should be a lot of fun to get it working.

Is this a good brand and model of drill press? Is it worth restoring?
 
Now those have what appears to be a very stout return spring mechanism.
The one on my Duro - sucks.
 
Yes, totally worth restoring.
It's really a beast of a machine, weight wise; much heavier duty than anything modern in it's size.

Years ago, I swapped out the original motor for a variable speed conveyor belt (treadmill style) motor and it's worked very well. I also re-turned the jacobs taper to get very little (.0002") total runout and added a new chuck.

There is a fellow locally in Southern California who restored the same DP and is trying to sell it on Craig's for about $750. I can't find the add right now but I just sent him a message asking for the photos.
