Details:
A vintage Rotary Vibrating Rivetting Hammer for restoration.
Made by Turner Machine Tools Ltd of Birmingham.
Model R.H. 18, will set rivets up to a diameter of 1/8".
The machine was fully working when decommissioned, but will required the following before being able to work again:
The original foot pedal was snapped off; however, I have sourced a very similar pedal from an old hardness testing machine, which will fit with only minor modifications.
It is missing its original NVR starter and lo-vo light. I am able to supply a replacement Crabtree 'BD15' 415V NVR starter and a suitable modern Cutler-Hammer lo-vo lamp/transformer(415V to 25V/50V) at extra cost if required.
The circular flexible belt which drives the anvil rotation mechanism is perished and will need replacing with a length of suitable PU belting or similar.
The original flat leather drive belt is missing; however, the crown pulley's can easily be swapped for equivalent vee pulley's if so wished.
The motor, a Brook Gryphon 380/440V, 1/2HP, is currently removed, but is in perfect working order and merely requires bolting back into position.
The machine comes with a large selection of setting dollies to fit the upper virating/rotating anvil and the lower fixed anvil. The dollies are held in posion via a taper.
There is some side play in the upper, sliding/rotating, anvil,which would need further investigation and possible bush replacement in order to eliminate.
I cannot see me ever using this machine so am letting it go.
Throat = 3.25"
Working height between anvils with no dollies fitted = 24" (Nominally)
Overall height = 46"
Base footprint = 12" wide x 16" deep.
Approximate weight = 255lbs (116kg) (approx.21/4 cwt)
Approximate weight with motor, guards and lower anvil brackets = 200lbs (91kg) (1 3/4cwt).
Asking £50, plus and additional £12 each for the Crabtree starter and lo-vo light unit if required.
Drop me a line if you wish to discuss further, or require additionl photographs.
