I'm working on a remodel of a former dental office. The office has been vacant for a few years but I found a box in the attic. The box contained 2 complete drill assemblies. I don't have actual pictures of the ones I found but I did find one on the internet. They are pretty cool and would be awesome for model builders. This one works off a small belt that runs all the way from the motor to the drill head. The other I do not have a picture of but will edit this post when I do. These are like industrial grade Dremels. The other one is more heavy duty. Here is a picture of one just like what I found. I have the foot controller and everything even new tiny drill bits. The switch on the base is for forward and reverse. You can see the belt runs along the joints and arms.

Lol me too.. You should see the creepy molds and all the other artifacts that were in the box. One set of choppers that look like George Washington might have owned them.. Its actually a practice mold I think to teach how to pull teeth. Anyhow some weird stuff.

I knew I'd seen that somewhere before ...

Here is a video of the drill and how it works. The one I have is Chrome.

I remember the ones with the belts showing. Gives you something to watch as he's drilling out a cavity.

The other one I have looks heavy duty enough to do porting with. It even has a burring bit already in it. I'll take some better pictures tomorrow.

Absolutely hilarious. Poor Harvey, pissed himself from Tim destroying him.

Nice.

I love the history of technology.

The other one I found is like this one. Doesn't have the hammer attachment though.

This was parked across the street from a job I was working on one summer about 30 years ago. It had a 6pak setup on it with a 67 Corvette tri power air cleaner and ugly looking wire wheel rims. It also had a spin bearing from the owner over revving it. Every day at lunch I walked over and looked it over, happy to see how solid and original it was, so I drove my old 64 Belvedere to work one day and asked the owner if he’d like to trade, my running car for his non running car. He jumped all over that deal. I took off the 6pak setup and sold it to rebuild the engine, and traded the air cleaner for all the soft products for my Barracuda build I was doing at the time. 25 years and many happy miles later, I traded it for the Roadrunner I have now.
