How many feet?

Four under the head and two or four under the tailstock. Have a good look at the bottom of the tailstock end cabinet. You can usually see how many feet it is made for. From here in Ontario, it looks like 4. But it might be two. Use as many as it is designed to take.
 
I’m looking to put levelling feet on my Luxcut 1136 lathe. I’m trying to figure out how many I should use on the cabinet?
I concur with @Susquatch

That's just an early model craftex and the head has 4 locations to add leveling feet. Use them all, use dampening material in the feet too.

I did the same on our old craftex 12x37 lathe, it worked out well
