I have serviced many G&E gear hobbers. As manufacturers go, the quality was exceptional.
Their typical oiling systems used copper tubing throughout. They would crimp the ends in places to restrict the oil flow to an area at times.
It should be clear in the service manual if the driven sheave drives the oil pump directly, or if it's on the first shaft. Their hobbers did not run the oil pump from the sheave.
If I were to buy a shaper today, I'd be looking for one like yours. Nice machine
The fact that there is oil emulsion in the reservoir tells me that they didn't service it, maybe ever. Check your oil lines for leaks and areas where the copper is wasted.
