Re: tune up

Depends on what you mean by "tuning up." If you're trying to get a lathe running that has been out of service for some time, the books from Illion Press are great. I've got a Heavy 10L, vintage 1941, and the book for it (with a kit of replacement wicks for the oiling system) is under $90, depending on where you get it. Ebay has a better price, Amazon maybe ships a little quicker. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K58YD2W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Search on the model you have, and they probably have the book, which I found invaluable! Mine isn't completely restored, but I've not broken anything following their instructions, either. ;) Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.)
