Thanks BD, thought some thing like that, I know it was too big for the jig saw, I did not think they had a jointer for the ER.
After looking at VM instruction manual for ER, on VM that I think you posted for me in a previous thread, Thank you by the way. Looking at it, and the drawing of the man cross cutting a 2x4, without a miter gauge BTW, and the optional attachments, I was thinking back then, there was no individual home shop power tools like there is now, and if any there were, by today's prices, considering inflation, would have been way more costly per unit then now, and maybe only one choice of manufacture. I remember my dad heating up a brad nail with the head cut off, so it would fit in the chuck flatly, over the gas stove to drill a hole in oak door casing with a hand crank drill back in the late 50s.
If you had an ER, and I dont know the price ratio to the average middle/upper middle class persons wage then, but I bet you were the proud neighbor at the bridge card/cocktail party back then showing it off to the boys!!!!!!!!!

Ever since I got my 10ER, I've wished that my father-in-law was still around to play with it. It never came up, but I'd lay 10:1 odds that he wanted one back then. After he came back from WWII (B-17 belly-turret gunner, and official Lucky Bastard for surviving 30+ missions), he got married and bought an 1812 vintage house in the country. Talk about a fixer-upper! I still use some of his old tools and fasteners. (Not to mention his daughter. )

Just saying it is an attractive item(and fairly scarce).

If it were close to me I would do the same.

But then there are times I think I am creating a museum except that I use em!

What the hell, you are right, and there are no debtor prisons anymore! S/*t, I will call the Pres and let him know they arnt "printing These anymore". have a beer and some nuts with him, show him how an ER 10 is part of Americana, like a Cotton Gin, hit him with one of his quotes, " I am not all Ginned Up". Tell him if every underprivileged without a job, if they had one, like 40 acres and a mule, could be an inturiapuer, and get us back on our feet, "pull us up from our boot straps" so to speak!! Then Every hoodlum in Chicago with there new, rebuilt ER 10 will be making there own "9", hell some maybe better then a Glauk, or some of the Israeli stuff!!
I will email them in a bit to see if still available!!! My favorite line!!
Thanks my KY forum buddy?

JPG, just went back to the CL post on that ER, posted again 13 hours ago!!! Sent off my hit line, " Is it still available, VERY interested, Bob"!!! Worked on the young ladies back when!!!
In all seriousness, I dont want a museum later, but dont want to see these great machines going for scrap metal either!! Now I understand better why farmers of my fathers age, died at 90, kept some of those old steam engine implements around!! And I just got addicted 9 months ago on my nephews 54 greenie, then found you guys, then one thing lead my first, a 57 greenie, then a goldie, then the 80ish MV, and then the ER's.
My new buddy Steve, he lets me call him Steve, Skuo to you, appreciates these Mammoths like I am getting to.LOL!!!!!!!!!!
