Pinched oil line on Harig 618

I sent Jim (jdsserve@aol.com) an email about a week ago, but got no reply so I called him this afternoon.
It seems my email may have been a victim of some computer problems he had.
Anyway, Jim was very helpful on the phone and I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to him for future needs. He's a fount of knowledge regarding the Harig machines and operation.
It turns out that the OEM plastic "spire" looking cover for the elevation screw is no longer available. Jim does sell a fabricated metal substitute, but I'll just make my own.

I will give him a call. I did send him an email but got no response. I’ve been busy working on getting the cabinet stripped and primed for paint so I have not had time to follow up with a call.I did get some 1/4 nylon tubing and some 1/4 Tygon for possible oil lines. Not sure which would be best. I am open to suggestions,lol.

Just an update. The saddle and table had some pretty bad scars from daily use, so I decided to fill those with some good automotive grade putty and sand them away. Got the saddle in primer and gonna touch up a few spots before paint

Just another update. I wasn’t happy with the cabinet after painting, so I stripped it down and resprayed it. It came out much better this time
