I lucked on to one of these at the last of three productive car boots I attended recently. The exterior wasn't too rusty but the spindle was seized solid so I feared rust on the inside and as I already had three hand drills at home I wasn't initially interested, especially as I'd bought another small drill just a few minutes previously. But I could tell it was quite early so thought I'd at least ask the price, and after I discovered the chuck was clean enough inside to unscrew just from finger pressure I was definitely having it
Once you get down to looking for it there's precious little info about Record hand drills out there and as many will already know this in part because some were produced for only a very short period during the 30s. Although this doesn't translate into all of them being rare the 122 certainly seems to be judging from the dearth of references to them and, prior to the pics I'll add later in this thread, the one photo of a 122 that seems to be online!
So anyone else have one but you haven't posted about it previously? If so please share your thoughts and any photos you have.
And just thought I'd ask, anyone happen to have a scan of a relevant page from a Record catalogue of 1932-1938 showing the 122?
