I am restoring a 9" SB made around 1938. I have the lower drive apart. No wear seen but can't figure how to set up the wicks. Does it have wicks like the spindle? If not, how is the oil drawn up from the resevoir? I can't seem to find any pictures of the correct assembly.
 
1938 9"

Sorry, should have been more specific, first time posting and I'm fat fingered.
The lathe is marked 9 x 3 1/2, model #159Y. serial number 84606. It has a 5c collet spindle with the speed lever. Single lever CHGB. The drive shaft has oil cups and holes like the spindle shaft but no spring wicks.
There is also a copper ring that fits inside the journal and I think it retains the horizontal wick, but I don't see how oil gets to them. There are large exposed felts in the top of each journal.
I will try to get pictures, when I figure out how to post them.
I checked out the rebuild book(new in Feb) but pictures are for a newer setup (no oilcups).
sorry for the long post, but once I get to talking I can't shut up!

Heavy 9"

Bob,
I definitely want to meet you. Right now I'm going slow because of other commitments (or I'm being committed, I'm can't remember). Email me at [email protected]. And we'll see- I can meet you half way if necessary.

Finally finished

Can't seem to start a new thread so I'll reopen this one.
The title lathe is finally finished except for the power (waiting VFD) Hope to add before and after pictures Lathe is model #159Y with lever operated 5C collet spindle. Has set up for taper attachment (don't have) but no provision for thread dial.
