I recently managed to get hold of a metric HLV-H and have just wired it all up.
It had been stored for an unknown amount of time in a relatively dry but unheated barn. There was surface rust on some of the bare metal but it was very light as most of it came off when the lathe was rubbed down with paraffin and rags.

When the machine is running it is making a racket from the motor cabinet. The sort of noise that could be squeaky belts or bearing or bushing etc. It changes with RPM and almost goes away at some speeds.
The sound seems to be more in the cabinet than up near the spindle.
Other than a quick spray of wd40 on the belts to eliminate belt squeal what should I be looking for?
This is replacing an HLV which ran whisper quiet so I'm a little anxious.
I've linked to a video of it below:

Thanks in advance for any tips!
