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!
