SS does (except it shows as backordered-probably why you are looking for one, huh?).

I ordered one a few weeks back. showed on backorder yet, i had it here in seven days from order date....... sold one of my extra Shopsmith machines so had to let it go with machine. i have bought two used machines this year and both have been missing the allen wrench, drill chuck, lathe drive and center, instruction books, etc. what do people do with this stuff?? when i asked sellers they said, oh its probably around here somewhere. poor housekeeping i guess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I wanted to do a project and I noticed they are on backorder. I called to confirm but they are on holiday until Monday.

Is it the spur center you need? Part "A" in this image?

You might want to contact Skip Campbell. He's the 10ER guru that runs the 10ER yahoo group. He might have an extra and it would be a local pickup. At least I'm pretty sure he's in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area.

Yes, I need part "A", but it's not for a 10ER it's for a 500 (they may be the same, however).
