Look like a Shopsmith 10ER; but, I have never seen a green one. My 10ER's are the standard grey color. Of course, that is a scroll saw on top. I don't have a Shopsmith scroll saw. Didn't know they went on top like that?

It looks like a 10E with the model 10 jigsaw.

Color does not matter.

It looks to be in good condition.

Please post a close up picture of the Shopsmith Badge with Serial Number if you can get one from the seller.

It looks like an early 10E based on the quill advance.

If it is low enough, I might even want to preserve it myself. I have #1414 and looking for even earlier.

It looks like the 3rd Headstock version which would be after S/N 1414. It also has the later Quill Collar needed for the Jig Saw that it either came with or was changed. That Quill Collar is after S/N 8865. The Tailstock is version 1 or 2 for the wood extension table. I'm betting it is version 2. Version 1 is 1 threaded stud & wing nut with the square block. Version 2 has the 2 threaded studs with wing nuts. Hopefully it has the extension table bracket, bar & pins. The wood top is easy to make a replacement for. The Jig Saw is the early version without the built-in belt cover. Of course the serial number would tell all, anything else is just best guesses from what I see.

What is the extra set of step pulleys at the end of motor. From large picture looks like it is attached somehow to way tube.
The existing table is used for the jigsaw by changing the insert slot with a hole in center and a cut out running parallel to the ways.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm not an ER guy but I don't think I've ever seen one of those before.

It appears the larger pulley is 'stored' on an arm attached to the rear way tube. The belt guard is stored on the front side of the headrest. Gor what, only the shadow knows(not OEM stuff).
