JPG Hmmmmm A greenie with a non functioning goldie headstock. And the jig saw is NOT included. Wonder what that thing is under the cushions..

chapmanruss Sorry I missed seeing it. I hope it went to a good home. Free can be but isn't always a good price. I received a free Greenie and spent $500 to restore it to like new. That was still worth it to me as I enjoyed restoring it.

chapmanruss Although it is missing some Mark 2 specific parts (at least not shown in the pictures) it would be a great start for someone wanting to do a Mark 2 restoration. One big plus is it has the Mark 2 Retractable Casters and looks to be in pretty good condition already.

A few things missing, a couple of broken parts, but otherwise pretty clean One other guy had called about it. And of course it was John Dalton, who graciously didn't ask the guy to hold it for him.

rlkeeney Not working might be something simple. If it were closer, I would need to check it out. https://staugustine.craigslist.org/tls/d/saint-augustine-shopsmith-plan/7715331305.html
chapmanruss It appears to be a Mark Mounted Planer made in March of 1984 and at some point, put on a stand. It would be helpful to know what is not working for anyone interested in buying it. Could be the feed motor, cutter head motor or something else. At $100 still could be a good buy.

edma194 Greenie for sale in Northern Jersey for $150: https://newjersey.craigslist.org/tls/d/caldwell-shop-smith-saw/7725891975.html Ad calls it a 'table saw from the 1960s'. If the first digit of the serial number is a '2' then it was made in 1954 or 1955.
