Priming oilite bushings with a vacuum chamber

[Canobi]

I built this chamber a few years ago to degass resins for verious replica prop projects. It took a back seat as metals started to play a more crucial role in my chosen hobby, which has led to me to own a lathe, and more recently, a Dore Westbury Mk1 mill.

She's in need of a little TLC and one job is to replace the planetary pulley assembly bushings. I bought a set of oilite bushings but forgot to ask for primed, so it was on me to that job.

I didn't fancy heating the bushings up and risk them warping (even though they're supposedly stable in that area), so it was nice to finally have a reason to dig the vacuum chamber out again, we had some good times back in the day.
