I stopped at a small antiques mall which is having a going out of business sale and couldn't find anything really interesting, so I bought this "HI-POWER" electric drill.  It seems to work, but I think that a good cleaning and oiling of the motor would make it run much better.  I did a quick search on ebay, and found some of these selling for modest prices.  Can someone here tell me when this was made and if it is worth much.  I paid $12, so I couldn't have lost much.

Thank You

Larry

My Dad had one of these pretty well identical if I remember correctly many years ago. It finally succummed to my taking it apart int he 60s. Seems to me the manufacturer's name on it was Federal, but it was pretty well exactly the same otherwise.

Maybe there's a "Classic Rotary Drills Forum."

Here's someone who might be able to help...
