I have a similar weakness of parts , tools , electrical , etc. that prompts me to just hold on to these items for prosperity . Every now and again , something will get used by myself or someone , so It goes to show that there is a definate need for old stuff . I have several carburetors from '80s CCC General Motors vehicles that are in need of rebuild but I have not done so because of lack of need. But I know as well as you that everything will have it time when it is needed. I just know that the drill press in your possession will prove needy if returned to a serviceable state . I know you can whip it into shape and the how to guy that you are will have you finding endless uses for it. It's from an era that everything was built to last forever so it's definately worth your time and effort to restore for your needs. Hoping you can soon just walk up to it and use it to fulfill your need. Hey , if that vise and that press came into your possession , you know there's more stuff out there to capture your imagination. I always keep an open mind to these things too. Good luck hunting them down brother and relish the thought knowing you've got a real quality tool that will serve you well !
