Re: Share your Magna memorabilia!

Inflation Hits Shopsmith! Got some documents recently that fill in a bit more early Shopsmith history - in this case, through Montgomery Ward advertising flyers.

It didn’t sell last year when they asked $1900 for it - strange approach to pricing for sure…

Re: Share your Magna memorabilia!

MAGNA-LINE Documents In past postings, I’ve shared some variations of User Guides and similar documents. If you’re into that sort of thing, these are easy to collect since there are so many of them out there. I mostly enjoy the hunt for those unusual or unique versions… It’s a lot harder to find th...

The nameplate says E-3099. Can someone tell me how old this is? Is this, or any of the parts worth anything? The stamp on the nameplate indicates a Model 10E from about 1948. Value is going to be based on what original and add-on accessories the machine has, and of course condition! Lots of great i...

…actually, it’s B3408 in the older (4:55) manual, and A3408 in the newer (10:56) manual. Parts list and exploded view are consistent within each printing. ;)

Re: Shopsmith Mark 5 What When and Where

1959 The nylon cap was added to the drive sleeve to reduce noise. (Note: this change 1st shows up in the 10:56 Manual and is not in the 10:55 Manual) Russ - you know much I love minutia of this sort in the history of the Shopsmith!
