Hand crank drill press makeover

Ever since I saw @StavrosGakos use one of these machines I knew I had to have one. Luckily, it wasn't long until I found a cheap one on a local classifieds site.
I wanted to make a restoration video but in the process I realised that this thing was in amazing shape. Some rust removal and new springs for the chuck and it was good to go. Given the age of the machine, I think this is quite remarkable. It does seem to have all the orignal parts and paint on it. It is hard to find information on them but I saw a picture of an Ixion catalouge from the 1930ies. So I guess it is from that period.
Since I ended up basically just cleaning it I didn't really think it was worth making a big fuzz about it. But many people have asked specifically about this machine so here it finally is!
I'm not@mymechanicsor @HandToolRescue so it's not a perfect-like-new type of restoration. but I ended up with a tool that is beautiful and, most importantly, usable. This thing is amazing!

I hope you enjoy the video!
