Nice clean machine. If mine were painted the same colour, it would be a twin. Had to be the same design and likely the same factory.
My machine also has an oiler. The top and front level cover were both cracked so I had to fix or replace. Most of the units I found on EBay were larger. I could have got the same size from a China supplier. I cleaned up the dried out oil and tested that the pump worked, so I decided to fix. I do wonder how/if the original owner was lubricating the ways.
I had a thick piece of plexiglass so I cut two pieces, one for the level cover and one for the top. I recycled the seal from the level cover. I decided to go simple with the top. I will remove the 4 screws when this needs to be refilled. I do like the clear cover.
Now the oiler is back to normal operation.
