Couldn't Resist

Post by Mike907 »

I have no room for it, but bargains like this are rare here. It's a 1982 model, and it runs smoothly.

Maybe it will become a shorty, I might find space for that.

Yep. It's in pieces in the back of my car until I find a spot for it. I told the owner that it was worth more, but he was happy with $100, and so was I.

She's already told the kids to say Goodbye. Dad's moving to his own apartment.

I imagine it's an especially good deal when you consider the location…can't be a ton of Shopsmiths for sale to choose from in AK and its not likely to be cost effective to look for them outside of AK...
'78 Mark V 500 #27995 (my Dad bought new)
'82 Mark V 500 #96309
Two '47 10E's (serial#4314+6149) - one a dedicated drill press and the other a lathe
Two 10E/ER in parts slowly being restored…#26822 and #????? (SS plate missing)
SPT's: Bandsaw, Belt Sander, Strip Sander, Jointer, Jigsaw, Biscuit Joiner

Reminds me of the hitch cover I saw in the Ace Hardware one day:

"I still miss my wife, but my aim is improving" :rolleyes:
