Sorry for being slightly OT, but I had an original manual for a 1020 fall into my lap with what might be the serial number on it:
Rivett 12 lathe manual - Album on Imgur
I believe there were a relative handful of these lathes made (25?) and I'd love to find the lathe it was for. Includes 3 copies of the marketing brochure and hand drawn schematic of the electronics.
This has been taken from a thread about mounting a 5C collet closer on an Monarch 10EE, but it is a discussion than should have it's own thread. :

There were only a handful of these machines made. As I understand it, only about 20. Mine is serial number 107 and as far as we can tell, it was the first one to leave the Rivett factory. It was on a Navy contract. We only know of three others that still exist. MIne is on the factory cabinet, but the others we know about are not.
