Thanks for the help everyone.
I dug out the Bridgeport manual (print date is 1979). I wish all my equipment was as well documented as this thing is.
The had a whole page on it,i got Mobile Vectra No. 2 Way Oil from McMaster. Ordered monday and it was here 11 am this monring.
Poured some in and "ta da" spindle works. Thanks again everyone!
Next time i'll RTFM first.
In bold print it said, SPINDLE WILL NOT START if LOW OIL is detected. :-)
