Welcome Paul!!

Search for posts by everettdavis for 'my google drive'. Lots of good information there.

Thanks edma194! That also explains the last Mark 5 that I acquired. It didn't have the sticker but did have the 510 table upgrade. I now understand that for any used SS, there could be lots of different combinations to determine it current state. Amazing to me that were are so many, but that shows h...

Here is a challenge for the group (from the SS rookie)! I found a Mark 5 for sale and I asked the seller for a picture of the serial number (see attached pic). Base on the s/n documents & charts I found in this forum, 347857 was built in 1957. Looking at the picture from the add, there is what l...

Attached pics of some Christmas trees I made from pine 2x4s (large) and white oak (small one).

All of her projects for me require me to get additional parts for my ...
