Well done you, she looks much better now

I'm afraid this is a different lathe than the one pictured by the original poster ! Mine was in quite good condition when i got it, so didn't need much work to get it working well. Other than having to use a 240v to 240v transformer to prevent tripping due to large inrush current on starting the motor.

Maybe light blue was the original colour for the MK1 though.

I also have an early Keighley lifts Mk1 lathe with the plain bearings.

Has been happy for some years now being fed ISO 68 oil. If a dial indicator is used to indicate a workpiece while turning the chuck by hand, you can see the small difference when the oil film is established & see the change as the spindle settles when rotation is stopped.

Although i did take approx 11mm off the topslide casting to allow larger tooling & fitted an adjustable height toolholder. Very happy with the lathe, but still need to add graduated handwheels at some point !
