Waldown Drill presses - which to choose
Lets say, out of the 6 drill presses pictured, assuming they all worked and were all the same price, which would be your choice? I only ask because this may be a choice for me but I have limited Waldown knowledge and I know there are others out there who know a lot more about them than I do. 3 phase or 1 phase isn't an issue for me either. These are the best I can do for images. Sorry. Thanks in advanced.

Good lord, that's an awesome sight. If it was me I'd look at the badges and see if theyre all the same type, the 8SN had 3 iterations over the years IIRC. I'd take the latest one available, would probably make spares easier to find. If they're all the same type I'd take the all blue one, I'm a sucker for tradition and that's the Waldown color.
Love Waldown drills. I'm guessing this isn't in WA? Been looking for a nice Waldown for ages but they don't come up often over here 😢

Yeah mate I was quite surprised too. Located in SA. So, basically I should go for the most recent one. I noticed none of them have the hand cranking height adjustment table. Is that a later years addition? Sorry if these are silly questions. I'm still unsure what pricing he is after as he bought them as a lot from a school. If prices are too high i'll probably just go for the cheapest one as i'm sure all of them are good anyway.
