Further Tony
The seal at the end of the spindle may be a special and no longer available. It seems the design of the subject oil bath is such that oil will always remain below the level of the bearings. The driven gear for the horizontal spindle is always in oil so I don't believe it is a problem. I am sure the spindle will outlast me with normal use but I like things to be right. The oil drain of the main transmission is the bottom of the sight glass.
Thanks for your interest. Chris

@tommylight
it's 90ish% there. I have done some screwing around with the machine under power (servos cutting steel) but still a lot of electrical stuff to do, inputs/outputs, some kind of PC cabinet? All the not-fun-stuff that takes forever and I've got to drive out twice a day because i'm always missing that ONE fitting.

Have a question as to what you are doing to the plastic tubing for the Lub - Oil fittings and tubing repair/fix ?
Wondering if you could share part # and other information about repairing the tubing and fittings?

Completely off-topic (sorry), but I was wondering if the over-arm mounts on your Schaublin 13 are the same as mine (I have an older model) - I've got a few fixes to do on mine, and if I end up giving up and parting it out I would send you the quill head I think you lack...that's if the little Swiss machine still has your heart...
