Not 'rather' but maybe 'also'...how on earth did you end up with that ? Quite a pristine background, like it's on a operating table...I've seen one. e-mail with info underway.
edit: Wouldn’t you rather have an F-64 headstock?

Well, if price is right I might be interested. What might kill it for me though is it appears to run off flat belt and I need variable speed V belt groove.Its not mine. But I do have a wandering eye. Its new!
Good Lord, that's amazing...I suppose at 12,500CHf + 240 per collet or 50 per used, that you'll be taking a pass on this one.
Thanks for pix, they are both beautiful. I knew the 125 starwheel existed...have seen it on a few 125 photos over the years. But have *never* seen the 102N version in a photo on an actual 102. The 102N-VM brochure I have shows it on the cover...but it's a painting !I just finished cleaning the 125 tailstock and put it in front of his big brother just to see the difference.
The 125-starwheel is really cute and has at the same time a solid look.
I wonder if the 102 tailstock is complete a scale-down, or just the same mechanical parts as the 125 in smaller and lower casting?
Luthy had a couple of single speed, old 102 style for sale. I asked if they had ever seen a 102N two speed tailstock and no reply except to say it was discontinued and you cannot even buy a new one.
Yes of course, but even before Photoshop images were sometimes manipulated for brochures.What about the pic on top of this tread? Isn't that a photo?
You either push in or pull out the starwheel, which will engage or disengage a planetary gear system for direct or geared feed. In geared feed mode the quill is just as resistant to retraction as a screwed quill when used for center holding duty, so it effectively elminates any need of the regular tailstock. IMHO, they should have all come with the 2 speed tailstock as standard equipment and done away with the regular tailstock.I hadn't heard of this "two speed" Starwheel tailstock. How does it function?
And as for Swiss ghosts, how about the radius turning carriage that can be seen in the early 1980's Schaublin catalog
The starwheel tailstock should have an adjustable stop that if anything would make it even more accurate for depth control. Once you have it set anyway. I suppose for "one offs" the regular tailstock might be more convenient for depth control via the magnification lens on the quill scale.The Starwheel tailstock is GREAT for drilling, unless you are working with very small drills or you need to control the depth to a very tight tolerance, in which case the MT2 is better.
So unless depth was critical I almost always used the Starwheel for drilling. You get a very good "feel" from the drill bit and it's much easier to control the feel rate.
Sounds good Screw....this seems to be the most mythical "normal" Schaublin accessory of all. Which is so strange to me considering it's desirable qualities.Don- There are a couple of dealers here that I've never been to but friends have, and they supposedly are quite good for digging up the more mythical and hard to find smaller Swiss machine stuff. I'll try to get their numbers this week; they are both old dudes and I imagine not hip to email (most Swiss companies seem oblivious to email- but they love their fax machines!). One is in the Solothurn area so I just hope he speaks French. If Luthy and friends haven't seen one these guys are probably the last hope.
