Late 1961, last number on chart is listed as 373422 so can you check your number again?

My 1963 Goldie is 'not on the list' either. The 'historical' records inherited by SS Inc. were incomplete. I am 'away' so I cannot check on my sn until Wed.

A rip fence is 'missing'.

A drive center is missing.

Cannot see the tailstock to see what may be missing there.

A drill chuck?

A sanding disc?

A saw blade and arbor?

All common items on e-bay!

The attached chart is from 1976, this was the standard equipment that came with my machine.

I don't have such a chart for your era of machine but perhaps this will help identify items for you and perhaps someone can advise as to what things came with your vintage.

For a reference manual to the greenie era shopsmiths look at this link

http://www.songofthegreatlakes.com/ssm5manual.htm

While there are some differences most of the info is still applicable to you.
You can look at the standard attachments breakdown on page 5.

see above...

Hope that helps
