Shopsmith Forums

I know this is an old thread. But I saw the wood in the first post and decided to chime in. It looks very similar to some Ponderosa Pine I have. I pulled this off a chain 40 years ago. This particular pattern was called Catspaw pine. Another Ponderosa Pine in my collection has a Birdseye look. Secon...

Another interesting page from the Service section. It is a 4 page brochure with 10 repair centers in Canada at the end. It seems that some of them might still be in business. I looked up a couple in the Portland Eugene area with no luck. I will post the other 3 pages if there is any interest. The in...

Are you talking the last Oregon Shopsmith retail store as Woodcraft? I remember they use to sell Shopsmith stuff. Sadly no more.

Almost done scanning the Manuals section. Looking through the rest of the pages I ran across a Service Center page. I looked up Power Service Center in Portland. Long gone. Wonder if any Service Center that's on list still exists. I have 40 or 50 pages left to scan. As soon as I am done I will get t...

Here are the exploded drawings to go with the Parts Lists. There is a 106200 and 108100 number. But no 107700. There is also a 206100 number, which is used by the Mark 5. My Mark 5 parts list has some 6 digit numbers that start with 2. I looked through the rest of my papers and found nothing using a...

Your explanation makes sense. I did not think of it that way.
So an earlier parts list would have those numbers?

What was crazy was I could not find part number 107700 or 107880 on either page of the parts list. Here is the second page. The inside of this 4 page brochure is exploded parts drawings.

The R and ER serial numbers intrigue me. I know there are several ideas as to what they stand for. And figuring out when they were made is mostly a guess. In a manual I'm scanning I found serial numbers for the two letters in a service manual carried by the dealer. At the time changes were made to t...

Yes, it was me that snagged this manual off Ebay. The seller had about $10 opening bid or Make Offer. When I bid the Make Offer went away of course. Then I made an offer. After one day of no more bids he accepted my offer. The Mark 5 Manual that came with it is version 8. The other manuals are Jigsa...

Here are the last two brochures that were in the Dealers Manual. Both are 7 1/4" long by 3 1/4" tall. They are in bad shape and probably can't be fixed. If anyone has already seen these please let me know.
