Since I plan on using it (was keeping my eyes open for this exact style), and the paint has a lot of discoloration and wear, thought I'd repaint it. I found a near exact match.
Everything was disassembled, removed from the cast iron part. Some was hand polished, some tumbled for a few days. The cast iron was cleaned, sanded so the new paint would bite, and wiped with Naptha a million times. The machined surfaces were cleaned with lacquer thinner.
Here's the first coat of new paint going on:
Here are a couple of pictures after reassembly, minus the motor:
The table part and base will be repainted this spring.
