Thanks,

Still widely available new in the USA at very reasonable prices compared to the UK. Chicago Pneumatic is one firm. In India, Consolidated Pneumatic supplies all types of riveting gear. On EBay is a good firm called EA Air in the USA that has a lot of refurbished gear. Unless you are sure of what you may be buying used is good quality, my advice is DON'T- parts are very hard to come by for these older machines if at all, so you may spend some serious money on something that fails and is irreparable. Additionally with some brands, parts have slightly changed over the decades so parts for a new machine may not necessarily fit older gear. I have found dealers are loathe to supply any detailed drawings so you can check as they want to sell you a new machine.
