Nice job! It amazes me the crap that they produce now and when they design a part so badly. Lifting the table puts a lot of torque on the handle, your new one should be much better.

My old Delta doesn't have a crank and gear rail like yours, you just loosen the clamp and heft the table up or down. I saw a jig I can make where I would mount a pulley up at the top rear of the column and attach a cable to the back of the table clamp and put a weight on the other end that would just hang down and act as a counterweight.
