SS10E with ER in the Serial number ER15624

Post by bravo315 »

Hello SS world. I found a SS-E with the ER in the Serial Number.
ER15624 After wanting one for a while I went to see one listed on Craigslist here in Atlanta.Knowing that not many are out there with the ER in the SN I snatched it up right away. And it came with every attachment ever made for it. I thought it was worth the $150 they were asking. I think by doing some research its a 1948 or 49. my saw guard has the slots cut out on it which puts it in that time frame I think. Its very clean and Im thinking of doing a restore on it. Anyone have any thoughts on the serial number? or a year. or anything......Thanks

It puts it in between Sept 49 and March 1950.

Once you're a member, check out the survey of user machines he has documented.

Many here in these forums are there too. I'm EverettDavis810 there.

To whet your appetite: This comes from his 10ER Survey

10ER Survey Header info
The following date info is from the different versions of 10ER owners manuals.
Assuming that the actual part change coincided with when the part appeared in the
manual, the following dates should indicate the approximate after date of manufacture.
You will note that some changes were evidently introduced at different times in the
two factories. For example the angled rip fence know shows up in E (east for Cleveland)
machines before the R (R for San Francisco) machines.
