Re: Hello Shopsmith World
No, the lathe drive is just slid onto the arbor and clamped with a set screw onto the threads. The lathe drive doesn't fit on the spindle, and it looks like the arbor's threads were sacrificed at some point in the past as a workaround.

And no, I don't know if any Williamses on the west coast. The most famous Williams I know of was one of my grandfathers who was the PE coach at the local school, so everyone in town ages 50-80 remembers him.

Re: Hello Shopsmith World
Hi there everyone! I posted here almost three years ago with photos of my inherited machine. With the exception of the replacement of the power switch that I broke during reassembly, it's done.
