10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.

Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

Realize Nick is addressing 'the masses'.

Many here are far more adventuresome and would 'fix' it.

When the Quill return spring is the subject, 'adventuresome' is a gross understatement however one can persevere.

When removing the speed control, be careful to not miss/drop/lose the very small spring behind the outer dial. Note how it goes in the equally small slots/grooves.

Since you seem to be about to get into the complete innards, it is a good idea to remove the motor pan and motor so as to greatly reduce the weight. Worst part is reinstalling the power switch. There is a way to prevent that for the future.

I realize 'we' are getting 'into' this far more than you likely anticipated, but you are gaining an understanding of what this beast is and will allow quick unaided response by thee to any future 'issue'. :)

Consider it to be what is on the floor of a German stable. :D
