Those are interesting. Do you think the support table is drilled to allow the homemade air cleaner to pull saw dust down through it? Also, not clever enough to justify the asking price!

I have a restored 10er with orignal chisels in original box, speed changer, shaper attachment and jig saw attachment, and manuels , plus owners manuel, and many parts accessories. I would be happy to get 400. If he sells his I should raise my price lol

Looks like it is well taken care of, I like the big table,but it is a little pricey.

Casters and a speed reducer would be nice 'additions' to help justify the $.

And a jointer head for the shaper fence, but since the 4E jointer is there, that head is likely long lost.

That box looks like a vac hose connection, but it is unclear where it is used. It might be under the right end of the table extension. I do not think the table is drilled, but it may be 'grooved'.

Interesting miter gauge extensions(2) and a lathe tool rest 'alteration'.

$/2 or less be reasonable.

Yes it appears to be well kept! Gorgeous way tubes!!!

Hopefully, there is a 'box' that is not shown that goes with it. It is missing a couple key components to make the 4E jointer 'go'.

OK, I'll bite, what is missing?

He has a pulley on the jointer shaft.

He has a std 3 groove pulley, but inside that is a larger pulley. I guess he removes the 3 groove pulley, moves the larger one out to connect a belt to the 4E pulley.

Not 'typical', but would likely work.

I guess missing and mis-installed. The jointer drive belt is missing and the motor pulleys are bass-akward. The 5" pulley which I overlooked goes outboard. Otherwise you will probably experience and interference fit (pun intended).

That looks like a blacksmiths furnace blower re-purposed, neat idea. I see those come up on Craigslist for next to nothing. I think I am going to use that table extension idea on my non ER SS.
