So not too bad of deals around here... Almost took the 10ER to restore because of everyone here and the inspiring pictures of the final products... alas Veto'd by the wife.

Ad is 2 hours old, so not sure if still there or not.

Ad reads:

This is a Shopsmith Mark 5 frame, headstock, tailstock, work table, extension table, two fences and sanding disc. The motor runs but transmission needs adjustment to get power to the spindle. Also, the spindle is stuck in the fully extended position. This paint scheme is rare, only used between 1962 to 1964 to celebrate Shopsmith's 10th anniversary. Free to the first person to come get it

This might be a bargain depending on who is handling the estate sale April 15-17 in southeast Oklahoma City.

Almost want to buy this $40 Jointer because of the upgraded feather guard and it's dirt cheep, just needs some TLC. Great price if anyone needs a jointer i guess.

A clean looking 10er with a speed changer and a jigsaw - $100 http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/nvn/tls/5503614592.html

that's enough to make me want to drive to Vancouver!!

I sure looks like a good value for a machine that visually appears to have been maintained and used very well. I wish that deal were closer to Texas, but if it were closer to Texas it would be already gone.

I think it is a VII not a V, I take that back it is a Hybrid I think, a V on a VII base!!!!

John I will take your word on that, not much smarts on a VII, cover off and pulley system looked different to me.

The forward/reverse switch on the motor pan and the crank on the lower left side off the head stock to crank the head stock on the way tubes. JPG????

ERLover

John, I am not doubting/arguing with you, I thought the VII had a 3 step pulley system, thats what threw me.

skou

The Mk II had the 3 pulley system.

The VII had a completely different

system, which has NEVER been repeated.

The 'reversing' power switch is missing(a common thingie).

The vac housing etc is missing(common also).

The belt cover may or may not have the headstock crank disconnect knob etc.

I bet the control cam is funky from the comment.

It has the original wide poly-v belt.(13 ribs)

That is about all I see fer now.

Actually the speed control is quite similar to the M 5/V, but the control sheave is moved differently and the motor hangs further away from the idler shaft. The idler shaft to main shaft = the Mark 5/V.(poly-v belt same 'length'.

The miter gauge is there as is the rip fence and the unique extension table.
