BD,
I have the link on VM you posted for me for the ER manual, as I said in the past, thanks.
Can you post the link to the newsletters if you have it handy?

Gents, thank your responses. Skou, I appreciate your response especially because all I have been reading on line is how faulted this machine is. Its nice to hear that this is actually a capable machine.
Buckeye Dennis, I'll def check out this link. thanks

Besides Youtube, are there any places to view videos of this actually running and being used? I see videos of the Mark ? being used all over the place but none of my model? Also, I am gathering by the info i see online that my model was probably made sometime around 1953 or so. Does that appears correct to you gents? Serial #99455

Ahouse,
I am not an expert on exact dates, but I believe they were made from sometime in 47 till sometime in 52-53. Then went to the present stile, the greenie being the first of the present stile. Here are some nice sites.

Here's a few more for you guys. Like I said, it all needs to be cleaned up pretty good. Can anyone tell me what kind of grease was used for the magna lube? I would like to find a like kind to use to re grease with.

Right or wrong I used White Lithium Grease in a tube from Lowes when I restored my 3 10ER's and they seem to work ok. You have several of the members here drooling over your acquisition.

The newsletters are available at the same page I linked to in post #10. The first three issues were called "Shopsmith Shop Notes", and with issue #4 they changed the name to "Shopsmith Shavings".

That's a nifty-looking widget. But I don't have a clue what it is for. If it is a SS item, it must be pretty darned rare.

That widget is what I thought might be a ring master, but those pix reveal it most likely is not. There may more parts to it?
