Vintage Craftsman Drill Press 1940s

[wolfsburged]

Very nice original condition Craftsman 103.23100 drill press. Circa approximately 1946. Original motor, paint, and belt included. Works great, return spring needs assistance. Will include link belt as well as original vbelt. No marks on table. I purchased this from another NC Woodworker forum member a number of years ago. It has served me well, but I am looking to replace with a larger floor standing model.

Looking to get $250 for it picked up in Cary, NC.

I have one similar to this with the Vari-Slo attachment that I'm thinking about replacing. The attachment needs some work, but all of the pieces are there and in good shape. It does not have the original paint job. It's a floor model. My question is, are these drill presses valued for aesthetics or functionality?
