I’ve gone with a vfd. I couldn’t find a motor that looked period, so with the vfd I can keep the existing one and hide the vfd on the bench the drill will be mounted on.

Have done no work on the drill this week, but today I need to degrease the table and weld up the pock marks today as a friend is taking it tomorrow to run through his surface grinder.
 
A bit of progress today. Motor ran up on the VFD, very smooth and quiet indeed. The rest of the drill is now in its component parts, ready for degreasing and cleaning. Tried to convince the wife to clean it while I’m away this week, but apparently she’s got better things to do.
