I have just about completed the restoration of an old Delta Homecraft Drill Press except for the wiring. I have been looking for a solution for an on/off switch that will compliment the vintage of this machine such as a toggle on/off switch but haven't been able to find a box and switch that will compliment the vintage of this machine.
When I received this drill press it had a home electrical box bolted to the left side of the head casting with an on/off light switch to turn the motor on and off. I can re-use this solution but I'm looking for some suggestions on what others may have done. There are two threaded holes on the left side of the casting behind the name plate that the electrical box was bolted to that I can use for a box and switch. However, I'm open to any suggestions. Your input is appreciated.
Here's a picture of the left side of the drill press with the two threaded mounting holes circled:
