Dusty makes the point, the Shopsmith isn't readily available here in SW Missouri for some reason.

I see cheaper deals online, eBay and such, but my fear with them is condition. I have to see something, even lay hands on it, to know condition.

And transportation for me is a big thing as well. So ...

You all are making good points.

Yes, the tool has been on the market since February and it obviously isn't going anywhere fast, I'm betting cash waved under the nose will speak volumes.

I'm going to have to take a good look at it when I get the opportunity to make sure what is there because the ...

The Shopsmith is located in Springfield.

I've asked for the serial number but the seller is only in Springfield on the weekends and he has said he will get me the number.

I felt that because of the extras it was a good deal at 900, and the fact that things around here have a tendency to cost more ...

I'm trying to get a serial number.

The photos show the machine in excellent condition, little use.

The photos also show it comes with everything standard as well as a complete bandsaw. This seems to be a good value to me.

And what might seem expensive somewhere else might be a fair price here ...

Thanks for the input friends.

I did some searching and I came to the same conclusion you all have pointed me to; a lot missing, and could be a bit cheaper because of the need for many parts.

The good news is that with some more searching I found one close to home that was made in the 90's and has ...

Possible Restoration

Greetings all, new person here.

I've been lusting over a Shopsmith for years, since the first time I saw a live demonstration at a local hardware store, a long time ago.

Well it looks like I'm very close to getting one. I desperately need one now as we moved a long ways last year and I sold all ...
