Re: At Shopsmith in Dayton this week
Wrapping up an illuminating week in Dayton When I get home I will begin the alignment corrections, stitching of oversized scans together,despeckling, patching and repairing things as I seprate book research materials out from general interest materials
Next week I will clean up and post a photo perhaps the only surviving photo of the first shopsmih made - for the patent office.
Tonight Tera and I had dinner and a lot of fun conversation with Jim McCann of Shopsmith, Nick Engler formerly of Shopsmith and their wives also each formerly with Shopsmith.
Great evening altogether.

Re: At Shopsmith in Dayton this week
I still think the Shopsmith story should be an exhibit in the Smithsonian... I mean isn't that basic design about 70 years old now? And so many still in active service... Some of us could even argue that the original Mark V (500) was better proportioned and the the best mix of form and function than their morphed-out successors...
Looking forward to the historical photos and documents.

The 70 year old model was a Mark 5. Mark V (500) model designation came a couple of decades later.EliWalton wrote:I still think the Shopsmith story should be an exhibit in the Smithsonian...

I took the statement in context(the original Mark is the best mix of form and function than it's successors). The original was the Mark 5 not the successor Mark V (500).
Too many folks are not aware of "Mark 5"s.

Re: At Shopsmith in Dayton this week
Just to clarify and eliminate some continued parsing of my original post: I just had a couple of very broad points: (a) the original overall design (10E/10ER/Mark II/ V/VII/... et. al.) is museum-worthy and about 70 years old, and (b) the original Mark V (Mark V-500) table size looks better proportioned to me than the larger versions 510, 520, Mark 7).
I apologize if my passion got ahead of my writing accuracy. Thanks!

Re: At Shopsmith in Dayton this week
The Mark V-500 table is identical to a Mark 5 table. I consider the Mark 5 to be "the original".EliWalton wrote:Just to clarify and eliminate some continued parsing of my original post: I just had a couple of very broad points: (a) the original overall design (10E/10ER/Mark II/ V/VII/... et. al.) is museum-worthy and about 70 years old, and (b) the original Mark V (Mark V-500) table size looks better proportioned to me than the larger versions 510, 520, Mark 7).

Re: At Shopsmith in Dayton this week
There is nothing wrong with being accurate. Magna made the Mark 5 (numeric 5) starting in 1953. Later Magna American changed it to Mark V (Roman numeral) or was it Yuba. Anyhow both are completely different companies than Magna Engineering that first introduced the Mark 5.JPG wrote:The Mark V-500 table is identical to a Mark 5 table.
