At a auction in Cheadle Staffs tomorrow there is a general auction starting at 1030 that includes the contents of a old boy, sadly passed away, workshop. Among his tools of mostly woodworking machines, some huge and mostly 3 phase and hand tools there is a intact working drill as in the title. It uses a 3pin plug is in working order and it all looks original. Except that is the pulley cover on the top which is made of wood, what else! The details are Les Oakes Reclamation, Oakamoor Road, Cheadle, Staffordshire ST10 4QR Tel no 07960069360 and the lady is Dawn if you want to leave commission bids. The catalogue is on Facebook under Lockett & Co Auction Rooms. I do not think there are any pictures but the lot number is 204. Their costs are 15% but I do not know if she charges more for telephone bids. They are a helpful company and honest. For those of you who covert the "old" pillar drills this is a must.
