70 year old drill press got lost!

We rescued this 70 year old drill press from trash and are now bringing it back to life!
The drill press was for free and the total costs for the restoration were about 180€ (200$).
Short Q&A:
- No repaint, we like the patina as it is. It also fits better into our workshop.
- Restoration is in our mind a direct action on the object with the aim of making it work again, but to keep the character of the object. In doing so, its aesthetic, historical and physical characteristics are respected as much as possible.
- No sealed ball bearings, because we like to keep it original and as the engineers intended.
