Been waaay too busy lately, but I'm considering selling the MKV we've been discussing for I've acquired a MkV with all of its handles and knobs and the Joiner, Belt Sander, Router shield, some sort of fence and the jigsaw for a great price.

If anyone needs greenie parts, I don't want them.

Thanks for the quick reply. I knew the rip fence, I don't know the name of the thing the tubes go to. How hard is it to diagnose the Poly V or the floating sheave? The speed control knob binds. I tried to get a pic of the part where it is actually in contact with the housing but failed.

OK, been a hectic week, but here are some Pics that I think will show everything you are looking for. PS while rummaging around the box of parts I found one of the knobs I need. Table Height adjust is still missing but I have the Height Lock knob.

I took the pictures you asked for. My camera decided to die when I plugged it in. Now my computer won't recognize the memory card when I plug it in. luckily I'm building a home server PC and it should be back from assembly this week. All I did was carve out the back of a drawer in an Ikea ...

The rod that goes into the groove in the table is bent. It rocks left and right then up and down. The lock for table height is missing. I think the arbor is wrong, it doesn't look the ones for sale. The arbor also doesn't seem to mate with the dust collector.

Thanks, I am considering trying to do a strip and cleaning, possibly a rebuild of the headstock. That MickyD guys 50+ page thread on his SS was EPIC for me to look through. Yes, the Miter gauge, that's what is bent, the blades are fairly sharp; I should take a file to it. I'm using my POS ryobi 18V ...

OH, yeah, the motor when it is spun up to Saw/Joint speed slows down every time I run wood into it. I have to do it in increments of about a 1/2 inch. Is this normal? Or am I getting exactly my $150 worth.

I am looking for attachment tips, but I just don't know what those things you listed actually mean. I will begin cross-referencing SS catalog with the ebay prices. I'm especially looking for the tools to do exacting work. I think the pusher is bent because I can't get a 90 degree cut out of it.
