Got a “new” Monarch lathe

Just purchased this lathe. I’ve always been a south bend guy, but I was offered this for a good price and couldn’t resist. I believe it to be an “A” model. Got it hooked up and runs pretty good. Just needs a good cleaning and oiling. A few questions/concerns though;

1) Motor loses noticeable power when power feed is engaged.
2) what oils are recommended? I was just going to use south bend oils.
3) What size is tailstock quill? Morse taper?
4) I’m not 100% sure on controls on the apron

Any input on these issues or in general about the machine is appreciated. Included is a picture of the only marks I could find on the machine.
Thanks.
