Last June I bought a lathe on eBay - a nice-looking Rivett model 4 which had been rebuilt by Rivett in 1935. Apparently when Rivett was done with the rebuild they considered the lathe to be no longer a Model No. 4, but a Model No. 504 which was simply a model 4 with some minor changes. The ebay seller was in Canada and I'm in Arizona, so the seller contacted me privately and told me that his best friend vacations in Arizona every winter, and has volunteered to bring the lathe down with him. All I had to do would be to meet him at some pre-arranged meeting point and pick it up from him. But I would have to wait for November because that's his vacation schedule. Well I got it, the transaction went great, I couldn't be happier, it came with a boatload of accessories (including dozens of 4OS collets)...so here it is:
It came with a collet closer, a stepped flat pulley from an authentic Rivett countershaft, a 4-jaw Burnerd chuck, a 3-jaw Cushman chuck, and a bunch of other stuff. Here ya go:
Here's a set of four stepped wheel collets:
And a milling attachment:
There's considerably more, but I'll post later.
