STX-150 Rivit System
Posted by proactive on Monday, October 23, 2006 10:09 PM

Does anyone own a Rivit Press for repairing Lionel Post War?  I was looking on ebay and found one called the STX-150.  Anyone know about this?  Its not cheap and I wonder if it pays.  I have done my best with a vise and center punch so far.

Thanks

I have the larger STX-350 setup that I bought from Vic. Excellent customer service and excellent product. Look at my latest restoration that I completed using his press and rivet system:

Pardner, this is my first time hearing of this contraption.

Thanks for the input on it.  I must say the vise and hammer is fun for small jobs but not for a lot of repairs which I am starting to have.
