1950 Delta Rockwell Unisaw Restoration Continues: OEM Ball Switch Found and Original Switch Plate

I have found that whenever restoring something, the big or main cost isn't necessarily with the purchase of the item in need of restoration. It's what I call the "hidden" costs of restoration.
Perfect example is this power switch. Sometime between 1950 and 2024 (and WAY before 2024), the original owner decided they did not like or want the lockable, original steel "ball" shaped power switch. So they swapped it out for a more standard light switch like power switch. Somehow, during that switch (no pun intended) process, they mangled the switch plate. Can't for the life of me figure out how they managed that considering the ball switch is the same width as the standard switch. Oh well, yet ANOTHER part that needs to be replaced.
I personally think the ball switch is beyond cool and definitely wanted to recreate not only the look but also the functionality (e.g., make it work) of the original switch. That meant finding an OEM switch plate as well...easier said than done.
In my experience, it's these smaller, albeit important pieces, that make the restoration cost skyrocket. The folks who have them know their value and this stuff isn't made anymore. Finding OEM components in dirty but really good shape (easy to clean and look new-ish again) can be challenging and usually ends up being expensive.
So here we have an original ball switch, an exact switch plate repro, and how I intend on using this power switch. This switch will be the main on/off to the saw (that I will lock in the on position) and a paddle power switch will be my "working" power switch. Blending the old with the new.
