Someone recently posted a link to this Rivett 1020S up for gov auction (Rivett Model 1020S Lathe with Collets and Chucks - NOT TESTED - govdeals.com) and I noticed it has an unusually long travel taper attachment. Appears to be about double the length of my 1030F's. Presumably it can't do angles as steep but still cool to see Rivett offered custom options like this:
Also note the TA pivot is not centered in its travel for some reason. It's funny to put a TA that long on a lathe with 20" between centers. The TA might be capable of doing the entire bed length.
The lathe also shows a different 5C lever closer adapted to the spindle, for those whose machines didn't come with the original.
Wish I could get my hands on that steadyrest; still haven't found one for my machine. Including some other photos from the listing:
