New owner of an ER Model

billmeyer · Post by **billmeyer** » Sun Jul 12, 2009 9:34 pm

I have just purchased at auction a Shopsmith ER model Serial Number ER41130. I would like to know where I might find an owners manual and parts list for it. I am very excited to get this. The guy who owned this died 15 years ago, and it has been stored in his basement. I plugged it in and it worked. A couple of things were stuck but I have everything free at the moment. I would appreciate any help and comments. I am not sure how to post a picture on this forum. When I figure that out I will post it.

Thank you!
Bill

Welcome to the forum. I will leave you in good hands with the 10ER owners here. Be patient there is big news about Shopsmith but you will be hearing form some experts when the dust settles.

Very glad you joined

Thank you Mark. I have wanted a Shopsmith for years, and practically stole this one at auction. The big news sounds interesting.

Congrats on your new ER purchase. There are two places that I know of that you can get loads of ER info, including manuals.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shopsmith10ERusers/
You have to be a member to get to the library. That could be a couple days since you have to wait for the moderator to approve you.

If you have a google mail account, you can log in to:

user: 10erusers
password: castiron

You can get just about all the docs that you'd get at the yahoo site AND there is no wait for membership approval.

Good luck and hope you enjoy your new find.

Mike,
Thanks for the help. I applied and as you said I am waiting for the membership approval on Yahoo. I do not have a google mail account. I may look into that also.

Welcome to the forum. I see you are a few miles east of me. Congrats on your ER purchase.

Glad to have you aboard. I do not have a 10ER, but would love to see one in action. I am not far away - Joplin area.

Joe,

Thanks! Yes a few miles east, about 3 hours worth. I am in the Southeast Corner. I used to live in Wichita actually in Goddard. I worked at the TG&Y store on Tyler Road.

Bob,
You are close to me. I have a daughter living in Joplin. I ate German food a few miles North of you Friday night.

I hope to get this thing up and going and learn how to use it. It really is a tight squeeze getting it into my shop.

Bob keep look on Craig's list in KC. I have picked up 4 or 5 up there with speedchangers and extreas for Close to $100 or less. Going up there to pick up one this week. Have found some there without speed changers for $50.00. So is a good place to pick them. Up. Really is a neat machine to add to your shop. I also haved a brownie and a 510. Really looking forward to see SS's new headstock coming out.
