Heads Up - Bargain 'available'

mdwine

We have found a home for all of the equipment, no need to respond any longer:

This is a real shame... My friend is cleaning out their parents house after her mom has passed. She has gotten some folks to take some of her fathers equipment, but has some pieces left.

A Craftsman 12” band saw

A Delta bench top drill press.

A stand alone “Shopline” Jet dust collection system

A Montgomery Ward 10” radial arm saw

Craftsman chop saw (Like new condition)

A Shopsmith system in new condition!!!

(I am convinced it has not been used!)

I posted pictures on my Flickr page, you can find them here:

This Shoppy has NEVER BEEN USED! The tables have no marks at all, the quill does NOT have a spot where the lock screw goes... it has not been used.

Everything runs, the Shoppy sounds like a brand new Cadillac! it hums and purrs, it is perfect. If I had any space at all I would take it myself.

It has to go immediately. I cannot bear the thought of the trash guy hauling it away. (the small bench top machines are not special)

They are in Fairfax, Virginia. Leave a note here or send me an email through the forum (if it does that) and I will get back to you.

Please, someone save this Shopsmith, it is SPANKING NEW!

Thankfully the find in the San Diego area has apparently sold.

From my searches on the opposite coast where the rest of my relatives live ...

Sounds like the speed control may need fixing, but could be a great find just for the planer alone.

I thought this would be of interest for those with joint matics.

Wish I was close to get this deal, a 10E for $50. https://easternshore.craigslist.org/tls/d/shop-smith-wood-working/6667048817.html

Not a bad deal for a jigsaw and bandsaw, both mounted on Powerstands, each priced at $100 in the Dayton area.

I'm not sure if this is a bargain or not, but I have the parts left over from a 500 to 510 upgrade if anyone is interested or needs bits and pieces:

500 Carriage

500 Main Table
[attachment=5]$matches[2][/attachment]

500 Rip Fence
[attachment=3]$matches[2][/attachment]

500 Lower Guard
[attachment=2]$matches[2][/attachment]
[attachment=1]$matches[2][/attachment]

500 Ext Table (table only no mount)

Send me a pm and whatever is left is yours for the cost of shipping. I'd rather not scrap it but I don't know if any of this is useful to anyone.

And a decent looking Dust Collector, although modified apparently and missing handle:

The Above 10E is sn 8873 and the 10ER is R45738

Both for a $175.00 and each has a speed changer. Far too far away for me from early vintages I seek below sn 1000.

This could be a pretty complete set with documentation. Value is there with the speed changers alone, but each needs restoring and rust removal.

Everett,

Do you believe the production Serial Numbers were below 1000? Have you found something in the "Shopsmith" documents? I am not including the Australian Model 10ER's. Your survey updated from Skip's and mine do not have a serial number lower than 1032 or 1036 respectively. This has made me believe that the first 250 units sent to Montgomery Ward stores were serial numbers 1001 to 1250 or very close to that.

As far as I have been able to determine that is correct. 1000 and forward, but I am seeking anything below 1000 at all times to validate it remains a true belief.

My 10E sn 1414 was part of the first 1500 machines or first 500 based on which number they started with.

Your 10E sn 1077 would have been part of the first 1100 machines or part of the first 100 as would 1032 and 1036 you mentioned above.

Only in Australia where they stamped their own serial numbers have we seen the lower numbers, and those were stamped with a different size number / letter stamp (smaller font) than Shopsmith ever used in America in any of their plants here.

I keep looking at serial numbers for U.S. machines everywhere I have found them, but none appear below 1000 so far. If your 1077 has the back metal badge with no serial number (as they used on early Demonstrators) then we can continue to presume that nothing was below 1000, as they did not have a thousand demonstrators and machines that early in 1947. We know the brass locks were discontinued very early. Yours has them, and mine has them suggesting they were the first generation models after the prototype made from a 3rd party recycled drill press headstock used in the patent application.

Here is a real bargain. A 10ER speed changer on eBay for $90 buy it now. It has not been welded and does not appear to be cracked anywhere. I have never seen one that cheap. The normally go for $150 or more.

Brand new SS planer stand, never assembled on eBay. At $275 I don't know if it is a bargain but since they are not available any more and this is a very rare listing it may be the only chance of getting one if someone needs one. Also $38 shipping is very reasonable IMO.

Here is a 510 in good shape with bandsaw, jointer, and a few extras for the bandsaw too. Seems like a great deal for all that's included for $500. Also lisa of individual accessories available in the area like strip Sanders bandsaw, etc... good time in mn I'd you need SPTs.
