Hi everyone, new member here. I have a vintage LeBlond 13" Regal, specifically a 1940 model S/N B3131, that I acquired some number of years ago from a local tech school auction. I only use it for home hobbying purposes and finally decided to give it a general reconditioning. My main issue that I have put up with for years since I have had it, is significant oil leakage from what appears to be around the shifter handles in the headstock. It appears that the packing in these is pretty much shot as I can't seem to get the packing nuts tight enough to control the leaks and there is even a puddle of oil down inside of the cabinet on the lathe stand. My question, what is the best way to re-pack these or does anyone have a recommendation for a type of packing to use or any other ideas to eliminate this issue? Has anyone ever replaced these or have a modern day alternative for new packing in same? Thanks in advance.
