G'day all.
I have just acquired a 10E S/n 541. Twas against explicit instructions from she who must be obeyed, and breaches space limitations as I already own a goldie.
The 10E was on ebay, I couldn't help myself I hate seeing old machines go to waste! $105.00. So now I'm wrestling with the whole ...

Hi gtseraf
I've been onto shopsmith, who kindly referred me to the UK agent. Having just bought a MKV I'm interested in all the goodies that are available and they are many. I've been in contact with someone who may be prepared to onship orders from the States either throught SS or Ebay. If you're ...

Thanks guys.
