This is a Morse Taper 3 drill press called Powermatic 1200, or Powermatic/Houdaille 1200. According to Powermatic, it was made in 1974.
I would estimate its weight to be 600-700 lbs. It is equipped with a 1 HP, 1140 RPM, 3 phase motor, which makes it very suitable for drilling metal. See a link below for its manual in PDF format. The table is approximately 20 by 20 inches. The spindle, as I mentioned, is MT3.
The first set of pictures shows it at the factory. The pictures were taken by the auctioneer. The second set of pictures describes taking it downstairs. The next thing I had to do is shown in the drill press VFD installation page.
