Nice to see another classic being restored and used.It's a great drill, love mine, better than the new Chinese junk.Like others have said, I just left it all original but was lucky to get a 240v one. Don't think I've ever felt the need to change belt position but everyone's mileage is different.During the restoration, while dismantling, it rolled off the workbench onto a concrete floor and the cast table snapped like a biscuit ! Fortunately managed to move my feet away quick enough, and fortunately found someone selling parts on Ebad and got another table, (with no pockmarks either).A common gripe with these Fobcos is the very short pinch-bolt lever which clamps the table. Not enough leverage to tighten or undo[ATTACH=full]193111[/ATTACH]
