Need some parts for a new to me old drill press

Well it looks almost exactly the same as the Delta so I think it’s the same

The table hardware is the same and there was a delta name plate inside the column. According to stuff I've read they used the Delta drill press as the base for the conversion

******These photo are not mine, but mine looks exactly the same***********

I think it works by reversing the motor when the handle is lifted. There is a cord coming from the motor to the unit on the side of the drill press

I can take more photos when I get home from work

yikes, that's a lot. the T-slots would be nice though.

Yup t-slots on a big cast iron table is the best. There has been a couple of Delta 4 gang DP’s with that huge cast iron table they were mounted on. Both units around $7-800. If I didn’t already have my UniDrill I’d think about one of those. There was one of the cast iron stands with no DP’s down in LA that they wanted $500 for that would be my idea of a killer work table. Right now there is this hd duo Moore DP: https://slo.craigslist.org/tls/d/atascadero-drill-press/7781252490.html

Pics of tapping unit
There is 1 extra threaded hole in the casting to attach the tapping unit

Inside the unit are switches that were actuated by something inside the chrome dial

Whether it was a cam or a pin I don’t know. Pieces appear to be missing and the wiring bypassed to make it a standard drill press

does your new drill press have the low speed (metal) or high speed (wood) step pulleys? the tapping one looks to have the low speed but the front one is trashed. the low-speed set would have an approx 8" dia front and an approx 6" dia rear if I remember correctly. mine has the low-speed set. I can measure them if needed.
