MARK 5 PARTS

Post by RandyGunny »

Does anyone besides Shopsmith make parts for the Mark 5, 7, etc? I have been waiting over a month for a control sheave assy and honestly, I think that's pretty unreasonable. My machine is pretty useless without it! I see many of you have waited even longer. I do know that there are some private guys who repair/provide belts or bearings. :mad:

Jacob Anderson is out on vacation until Feb 2nd as I recall. Check his site at https://jacobs-repairshop.com/ He has parts that he sells.

James C. Hopp might sell you a part. Check his site at http://shopsmithrepair.com/

My late friend Bill Mayo likely would have been able to help as well.

There are a few others to my understanding that I am not familiar with.

Then there is eBay where a good used part might be just the ticket.

I was recently surprised at how much stuff for Shopsmith's came up on an Amazon search. I don't know about something like what you are looking for but it is easy to do a quick search just in case...
