How old?

Post by loydstuts »

I just bought a model 10ER, serial number 78666. I found a serial number chart, but it looked like this was built in 1981. It is obviously not that. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.

10ERs were built between 1948 and 1953 and have their own serial number scheme/range.

Your SN would put it somewhere between September 1952 and the end of production.

Be sure to join the 10ER user's group over at Yahoo. They are a wealth of great information. You can find them here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Shopsmith10ERusers/info
