Heads Up - Bargain 'available'

ITSA Greenie. Jig saw, jointer(maybe fence in de box), shaper fence, mortising hold down. . . . .

I think DLB's suggestion is a good un.

NEEDS TLC!

What was the asking $$$?

$500.00

I have an automated search set up on Craigs. It is only supposed to send me new postings but some sellers will repost every day. This one pops up about every other day.

I was thinking it's a Greenie myself. Do Greenies have a Gilmer drive?

I was thinking that I would offer him $100 for it. Then keep it until I could get around to either restoring it or parting it out.

Robert,

Unless it has been upgraded all Greenies are Gilmer Drive. Because the picture is so blurry it is hard to tell if it is an "A" or "B" headstock. It looks like the Jointer's fence is in one of the boxes and it is an early Model 620 Jointer. Since it has been for sale so long and that it was in a house they bought they may go lower on the price since they really don't have anything invested in it. A few years ago, I got a Mark 5 Greenie, Jig Saw and Jointer for free that was left in a house and the owner didn't want.

My guess would be a "B". Only the belt cover screw above the bump appears as a funky line caused by camera moving while the shutter was open.

If you're trying to sell something, why would you use the worst possible pictures you could take?

I asked for better photos and told him it would sell better with good photos. Crickets.

He added the jointer photos recently.

Will the base assemblies from this Greenie work on a 1980s Mark V?

I have enough parts to make another Shopsmith except for one of my castings is broken.

I guess that's what you'd call an unmotivated seller

The Greenie Bench (lower) tubes are a larger diameter, so the castings are different. So, Yes*. They will work if you also use the bench tubes. Or depending on which casting is broken.

Thanks

The significant greenie differences include the bench tubes being 1 7/8 rather than 1 3/4. The base(end) castings differ so as to accomodate the larger tubes. By using a small spacer with 1 3/4 tubes the c-c spacing can be maintained if necessary(not all that important imo).

The way tubes etc. are the same all the way to the M7.

10ER Shaper-Router Fence? I don't have much knowledge of 10E accessories and never heard of this but it does look cool.

It's for sale on eBay:https://www.ebay.com/itm/275102705440?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m5055.l9429&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=fc8f320d7df74acea3f207637b7755b9&bu=45225526346&ut=RU&osub=-1%7E1&crd=20220110085518&segname=11021&sojTags=ch%3Dch%2Cbu%3Dbu%2Cut%3Dut%2Cosub%3Dosub%2Ccrd%3Dcrd%2Csegname%3Dsegname%2Cchnl%3Dmkcid

It is the Jointer-Shaper Fence for the Model 10E and 10ER that replaces the Table Insert when using it. The downside on this one is the missing clamp, washer and wing nut that holds it to the Table. In the first picture the left side set is there but the right side set is not.

JPG

The missing clamp should be fairly easy to make and the wingnut is replacable(albeit of lesser substance).

A jointer cutter would be a nice addition.

This one is a certainly a bargain, a Model 500 for $50: https://vermont.craigslist.org/tls/d/essex-junction-shopsmith/7432788889.html

Looks like serial #150699 from 1982. May not come with anything not shown in the picture but a great deal for parts or a 2nd machine.

JPG

Interesting 'second' table.

Free 10E available: https://providence.craigslist.org/tls/d/warren-shopsmith/7435348968.html

Looks pretty good for the price.

The ad is still up. If someone doesn't take that thing I'll be forced to go get it myself.
