1960 Delta drill press

[becksmade]

Hello, I just purchased this Delta drill press on marketplace. From my research it is from 1960 when I looked up the serial number. What I don’t know is what the model is. I would like to see if I can find a manual for it and some videos to see how to do some restoration work on it. I also want to know what it looked like when it was brand new. I am not sure who painted it red and if it is supposed to be red.
If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome. Not sure why nobody answered any of your questions, weird. Anyway, the red is not OEM, though I suspect the gray on the main casting under that belt guard is. Looks like a 15" model, something like a 15-017. Might ask here for all things Delta Rockwell https://www.owwm.org/index.php?sid=a110754a42b923b3a16943fbcddd5f06 and likely find a lot of info here http://www.vintagemachinery.org/
