Shopsmith location

Post by wrmnfzy »

Is there anything to see at the SS location as I will be passing that area in a couple of weeks? Any factory store, plant visit, etc?

You can drive by and look at the building!:D They are so short handed these days, that no one has time to give a 'tour'.:( Nick was known to do that, but he is no longer there.:mad:

I used to be a somewhat regular visitor to the factory store when they still had it even though it was about 2 hours away. I loved going there. We have several antique tractor hobby friends in Ohio so we were often passing by Dayton from Central Indiana (I-70) except in winter.
Many times when I was there someone dropped in there to show the SS guys their latest small project. The atmosphere was very friend/family like. I really miss it... :rolleyes:
