I'm getting familiar with a used lathe I bought a few weeks ago. I spent
last weekend getting the wiring set up for 220 (from 440) and was
successful, thanks to help from this group and others. I'm hoping to draw
on the knowledge here again.

The new challenge is the tailstock. I'm attempting to adjust it so its on
center, but can only get it to move in one direction.

What Peter said. Typically, two screws oppose one another and work against a
lug on the base casting such that you can locate and secure the tailstock in
place without risk of having it drift. Check the opposite side from the
known screw to see if you don't find a second identical one.
