Antique bench drill

Antique bench drill by ghb624.
I need to post a query with one of the old tool forums to see if anybody's familiar with this one, and perhaps able to answer a question.

Nice find Jerry, I haven't seen one this old before. It looks like it might of been powered by a belt off a line shaft.

Don't drill the surface, and that looks like a Craftman 10" table saw.

Tom -- no, it's powered by an electric motor and some sort of belt linkage. The unknown for me is what kind of belt and how to rig it. So, I posted those questions on the Google groups for metalworking and woodworking and got some excellent responses. So now the ball's back in my court to see what I can work out to get it running.
Don -- Right-o on your ID of the table saw.

I did get a lot of inputs from posting queries on the metalworking & woodworking forums. No clear cut consensus though. Some tinkering is still in order before getting it running.

I'd turn it into a lamp and put it in the living room.
