$100 SB Drill Press - Restored a Bit

[Lost Pup]

Picked this up from Craigslist for $100.
Still have a few items to finish, motor,badges and knobs.

Badges restore I need to research a bit...Any thoughts ?

Only the base was primed all other surfaces were painted with no primer.
The cheapest small foam roller worked just fine. Tried a bit to remove the base but gave up and used paint remover on it. The other parts were glass beaded and prepped to paint. Rolled 2 to 3 coats on most. Underside of base was treated twice with a rust fix then primered and painted with spray can black Rustoleum.

It was painted 13 years ago.
Just saying. Still, it was probably a fun project.
I've gone through a few 70+ year old machines. Love the way they built machine tools way back when.
