1986 Tercel advertised as Vintage and Retro.
The drill came to me well cared for, but I will get some more pictures up when it is shining like new. I am glad to have it in my arsenol of tools.

Vintage Tools
Has "vintage" killed the "used" market? Why sell used goods when you can slap a vintage label on on a microwave and charge a couple more bucks? Marketing spin for the privateer? Maybe, or maybe vintage has come to define used products with a higher value?
That would be a perceived value of course, but that would describe my elated feelings when I became the steward of this Superior Power Tools Heavy Duty 18 Speed Drill Press. I say steward because a tool as solid as this will one day be passed on just like it was generously bestowed upon me by a good friend who was making room in their garage. I gladly took it in and have begun some mild refurbishing.

Man that thing is sweet. Tried to Google it up to see if there were others out there and I couldn't find much, so it must be pretty rare. Awesome find.
