I thought I had posted this one earlier, but I guess not.

GONE!

A friend who saw my first Model 10, always wanted one, but I didn't know until I asked him if he would pick this one up for me, when I had the cash saved up.

No! But, we just got it for him. A fair amount of rust on the jointer, as well as the way tubes. Speedchanger center sheave needs work. Needs a new left leg, which I have spares of. Motor works just fine. Has the shaper head, with a few sets of blades.

Rust? You call that rust? Heck, that would barely qualify as "patina" for those of us who don't live in the desert. ;)

Congrats on the great score for your friend!

And, he's gonna see it as "patina." I'll not see him grind .010 off those way tubes to get them "shiny." If he's got issues, I've got 4 pair of way tubes.

This machine was outside, when we picked it up, and was also outside last Monday. (We only got 4 inches of rain, before breakfast, last Monday.)

Like I told my friend, if he's upset, he gets $200 from me, when I get the cash. GLADLY!

Stock (bog standard) Model 10. $150.00

4E Jointer, with headrest. $200.00 easy! (Maybe, $300)

Speedchanger, (this one needs some work) $100.00

Metal legs and casters, (casters need work, and a bent leg) $100.00

Extra bits and pieces. $75.00

Total price. $150.00!

Well, since you've already got a bandsaw, how much you want for the spare?

The current owner must be really height challenged!:rolleyes:

Not for me, I am just the transporter, for the nephew, he has a greenie, with a BS, but would like another SS, and the jointer. Band saw will get sold off I would think.

What do you do when you have a piece of junk you are trying to pass off as a Shopsmith, you post fuzzy photos :)

I have recently rebuilt 2 10 ERs and 3 mark Vs. Two jointers and 3 band saws. I love these machines and they are built to last!!!!

I know they are generally regarded as pieces of junk, but I'd still love to have a Mark II. Just because.

I have some pieces and they are useful, if not as durable as big brother. They would make a good power station with a M5/V headstock. The way tube spacing matches the M5/V models.

I've thought the same thing. i.e. - just because it would be kind of amusing to have at least one of everything Shopsmith. But, for practical reasons, I fight the urge and hope to keep it to:

1 Gilmer greenie

1. Greenie upgraded to 520

1 10ER

1 of each SPT

Various sundries such as Maxi Clamps, hold downs, etc.

Hopefully, along the way, I'll actually do some presentation-worthy woodwork.

So, for me, the Mark II sits among the vaguest of vague afterthoughts.

Might be worth a looksee.

Good deal if it includes all the ss stuff in the pix.

Beware it is an 'early' 510(rails different id from later ones). Only a problem if mixing tables from different versions. Since the od is the same, the early version rails have slightly(~0.05") thicker walls.

At least I assume that is a belt guard.

Interesting belt guard! What is that sticking up behind the back left corner of the table?
