Arboga Drill Press

Thankfully there was little or no "hidden" damage, with the broken bits largely limited to the obvious and visible stuff:
One of the plastic gear selector levers had been snapped off, one of the plastic ends of the downfeed
handle had broken, the cast-iron power switch box had been shattered and the switch itself somewhat
damaged, the table mounting spud cracked off, and the table lift crank handle broken.

The table mounted like a normal drill-press table, with a central pin/shaft. Interestingly enough, the mount was cast iron,
and appeared to have been broken and repaired once before. While I found it odd the thing was iron, it likely saved other,
more difficult to repair parts from being damaged when the thing fell over.
