LOL, not quite, just letting it out that more info on this will be soon at hand!
Serendipitous, as I was just looking for something to reduce the speed on a vintage bandsaw, that recently extorted its way into my life...

Thanks for posting that Chris! I looked unsuccessfully for literature on it initially, then gave up.
As an update, the drill press still looks the same as it did my original photos. Since I bought it, I have also bought a lathe and a mill, which jumped ahead in the restoration queue. I did get a 1/2" chuck for it though and have drilled 1" holes in steel very pleasurably. I may have to get a 1-3/8" drill bit just to test the claims on that brochure!
