Just picked up this Delta 12" Disk Sander. It's a 3-phase with a mechanical switch. I'll be running it off a VFD, but I'll keep the switch on to keep the originality. Can someone help identify this lamp that came with it? It looks like original to the machine. It's got the right shade of grey. There's no model number to id it. I haven't seen this at all while searching online as well as looking at past Delta catalogs. Note how it attaches to the electric box.
Delta Lamp on Disk Sander? But Not Retirement

I looked online and I didn't see a match either. It has a bit of a old sears craftsman vibe, I have one of a similar shape on an old Cman grinder. It looks similar to some older Fostoria lights but they dont seem to have the flexible gooseneck connector to the lampsocket.

Thanks aquinob and whitworth for the followup. I think I may have found it from the 1965 Industrial Catalog. It's No. 25-857 Lamp Attachment as an accessory for the Ram Type Radial Drill Press, although I'm sure it would fit other machines. It was attached to the electric box, which works, but I'm not sure I'd keep it there. I'll have to see where I can put it...Thx.

That's a nice disc sander, I've got my eye out for one but they never show up around here.
Thanks. It's my second one (you can see the first one in the background). I bought this one because it was 3-phase 3/4 HP, had a mechanical switch attached to the motor instead of the stand, had the lamp (but not an accessory specifically for the grinder), had the stand and all for less than $100. They come up fairly regularly in FB marketplace around here..
