What's it worth?? Clausing 1770 variable speed drill press

pauly said
Hi everyone! Got a chance to bid on a really nice Clausing model 1770 drill press at work in a silent auction. I'm not finding much online about them, so I am wondering if what it's worth if I can get a deal on it. Looks to be lightly used - clean and in good shape.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm seeing in the newsgroups that people are very impressed with them.
There is a used 1766 variable on ebay for 800 right now, with a buy it now for 1,100 or so.
I also found a used 1754 for $799.00
Any of the upright bench style presses by Clausing start at about 2,300.00 for the smaller ones. (18-20 inch)
