If you want to save money...

If you're cheap and don't need something too fancy, you can just use the older 500 table saw rip fence (not 510 or 520) on the aluminum bandsaw table. It's too long, but that normally doesn't get in the way. It only clamps on the one side, but it's solid when fully tightened down.
My dad's 1951 10er, 2 more 10er's, same vintage, a Goldie MK5, a 510 shortie with 34inch tubes, bandsaw, jointer, jigsaw, belt sander, a ton of small SS goodies and still looking...you just can't have enough Shopsmith stuff
