What brand of machine is that?
Kind of looks like my pre-1930 Sidney.

I never intended to start any type of disagreement. The OP said he has a 74 year old lathe, I personally would not use any type of detergent oil in that machine. My answer was for those, like me, that have machines older than we are.
I have a friend who has a few year old Charter Oak CNC mill; they specify non-detergent oil with a de-foaming agent added.
Everyone has an opinion. You can pick from column A, B or C
Here is a photo of my headstock, gears are made of un-obtainium so they are real expensive. I wouldn't even attempt to replace any bearings.
