Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
This one is an unusual jig saw and belt sander combo. Both SPTs will need some cleaning and maybe parts. I don't know what that 'power station' is. It has some Shopsmith parts including the casters, and might be Greenie colored. Is it some variety of a Power Station? Whatever it is, if the SPTs are serviceable then $75 is bargain.

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
I think it’s one of these from the late 1950s Magna-Line catalog.
Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
How about that! A really good deal for $75 if you're into that kind of thing. If it was closer to me I'd go get it.

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
This looks like it may be a very good deal. Mk V 510 upgraded to 520, with bandsaw for $600. Carlsbad, CA, just north of San Diego.

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
I suppose this would be a bargain at $1500 if you want a brand new still in the shipping crate 520 machine with joiner and bandsaw: https://nh.craigslist.org/tls/d/greenla ... 83840.html
That location appears to be in New Hampshire, not the giant island in the North Atlantic.

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
I don't think it is a 520, unless I missed something. I'm thinking it's fairly old for 'brand new.' But these new, never used machines do seem to attract buyers.

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
It may not be a 520. I thought that was a 520 type rail in the upper left corner but I don't know. I'm not sure what it is worth if you don't want something brand new, but I can see some appeal of getting all the parts that originally came with a machine. And for a first Shopsmith, again if you want it brand new, I think this would be a deal. If it is not a 520 then I think it's value is somewhat less.
It shows the bandsaw serial number 11876, perhaps someone could estimate the age based on that.

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
The Bandsaw was made in June 1979 according to the serial number SS11876. Likely the Mark 5 and Jointer were made then too. It would have the extra slot in the original table system aka 500. It would say Mark 5 on the vent/serial number cover which is probably why it is listed as a Mark 5 for sale. Although it looks good, I would check it out carefully if I was buying it.

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
For a simple Model 500 you better be in love with the idea of it being new in the box to make it worthwhile. Doesn't look like a bargain at all from my point of view if it's that old. Maybe the new in the box concept is worth it to some people, I'll certainly over-spend for hard to find items that just appeal to my own desires.
