We all make mistakes and sometimes give bad advice, I think the correct thing to do is to delete the incorrect post, and like Hillary pretend it never happened.:D

ImageHi bigmoe, and welcome. SS still provides manuals, I think. At least they have a web page for them: http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/faq/index.htm#product2

Sorry I've been away from the thread for a bit.
I did get a manual off EBay, and no, according to the service reps on the phones at SS, they don't carry the manuals.
It took me several tries on ebay to get a manual, but they are out there.
