Hi Scot and welcome,
Nice score. Looks like it was built in Feb 1981 per http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/faq/markv.htm. Did you get any of the accessory tools? A lot were purchased with at least the band saw and quite a number with the jointer. That will clean up real easily, probably just some light fine-grit sandpaper on the way tubes.
All: if you click on the original photos, you'll be taken to a Photobucket site that includes a couple shots that have the 500 tables as well as a few other photos.
Where are you now located? What branch were you in?
There are a lot of former/retired GIs here. I was in the USAF for a bit over 20 years, late 83-mid 04.

I've owned at least one of each of the Big 4. mostly sport bikes. still want a track bike, but will have to wait.
