Curtains, even.
Nice colour, Mr. Scruff!

Nice pads you have the shaper sitting on.

Yep, that's an extremely dangerous machine and should only be operated by those of us with multiple hours on them.  Send me your address & I'll be there shortly to rescue you from the risk.  (you're right I'm jealous). 

that's a Cincinnati pretty much same as the one I have, except mine they called a heavy duty.

That makes his user name quite ironic

Then you'd really like my shop, there you go Ed.

So, 350,
Shot of yer shop,
Maybe?

The only reason the shop is clean is because everything is jammed to one end. Had to do that to get this lathe moved in.
The shaper is a 16 in cinn back geared , similar to dal lens.

Yeah we gave ya some ribbin.. But I was really disappointed that noone ever answered your question.

The headstock appears to have 2 sight glasses in it, that probably means they are for 2 separate chambers (?), anyway, I would suggest
you fill the chambers to halfway up the sight glasses.
As for what kind of oil I would suggest a 20 or 30 wt. non detergent oil (detergent oil may free up contamination presently harmlessly stuck
to the the walls/bottom of the castings).

There Vinny, how's that for a stab at an answer?
