Observations:
Shaft corroded, needs work to make the table move smoothly up and down.
Photo 3 shows the unit slightly angled.... is it seated ptoperly in its footing?
You should check it out in person and bring a level and smallish square. Then set the table horizontal. Put the square on the table and see if the drill bit moves up and down vertically in two planes 90 degrees separated.
Are the belts worn?
Check if the earth on the plug is connected to the frame with multimeter. Should be zero ohms or very close.
If the motor is going, drill a hole through a 25mm plank or so and check if it has gone through without drifting to one side.
I am sure others can add to this but hey, if this is too much, just leave it for someone else.

Re: recommend me a drill press
I have a budget Ryobi one, which is why I would recommend something better

Re: recommend me a drill press
My dad bought that one above back in the mid-80's, he gave it to me in the early 2000's when he bought a milling machine. I think it was built in the early 50's.

Re: recommend me a drill press
Me too with the Ryobi, great little machine. My Tele build about 14 years (same drill press) ago was done with that rig and yes there are areas where physically not possible to reach because the body would hit the column. It is forever set to the lowest speed and even that is fast.
I have the quality bones of an old Tanner (such quality castings), needs motor, that ones on my magnificent ever growing list of things to fix.
Guess who...

Re: recommend me a drill press
I’m really happy with my Bosch, electronic speed control, laser sights, great depth gauge, built in clamp. What’s not to like?
Kept my old Ryobi but will use for fret pressing
