Rivett lathe for sale.

[keith5700]

Ok, I need some V8 money more than I need 2 lathes so I want to see if this recently overhauled Rivett 608 lathe will fetch any decent money.

It's date is 1922. Sold as seen in the photos, plus about 16 change gears, the idler belt drive assembly, faceplate, chisel rest thing and a 3 pointed travelling steady. No collets unfortunately.

It needs a motor, belt, bench and a couple of decent headstock oilers to get it working.
The overhaul thread can be found in the Questions section.

I'm not sure what it's worth as I've not seen one for sale recently in the UK.
I'll start at £750.

Inspection welcome anytime. I'm in Derby in the UK.

Wow, that's just beautiful! I'd have a great deal of trouble parting with a lathe like that!

Good luck, Ian

Thanks. Still not 100% sure I'm doing the right thing. I'll see what happens.
