Good evening all, wondering if anyone happened to see the new Rikon 1516VSRK lathe in the current Woodcraft magazine? I can't find ANY info online or even on the Rikon site. Anyone have any info they could share? Thanks and happy turning!

New Rikon Lathe - 1516VSRK

The only other Google hit for "1516VSRK" besides your post is a marketing brochure:
Looks interesting! The new lathe might be a replacement for the 70-150VSR, since it has to come in significantly below the 70-1420VSR pricewise.
Also interesting to see Rikon enter the chuck market with what appears to be a Nova-compatible clone.

The brochure has the wholesale purchase pricing in the back.
AWESOME FIND - THANK YOU!!!
