The second-hand x/32 and x/64 collets were apparently never used.

Good advice, in fact the shorter list I posted earlier is all I really
need. I couldn't pass up the deal on the others, though.
It's so tempting to treat the Heavy 10 lathe as a museum piece and
collect every possible accessory. And a 1965 lathe gives more use and
takes less space than a 1965 car.
