Manual for Goldie Needed (please)

PG-Zac · Post by **PG-Zac** » Mon Mar 01, 2010 4:18 pm

Hi all,

Before I get too far with stripping my Goldie, I'd prefer to have a manual. That just makes sense to me. The machine appears to be a Magna Shopsmith mark 5 '62 or '63 with poly V drive and 1-1/8 hp motor.

I have tried to buy one from Shopsmith, but the seem to have a policy against shipping to South Africa.

Is there anyone here who would be willing to sell and ship me a manual, or who would be willing to take delivery from Shopsmith & forward mail me the manual? Obviously, I would pay all costs.

Cheers.

Can you receive a pdf via e-mail? You may be expecting too much. There is not much more than what is on line!

Yes I can receive pdf's by email, thanks.

My main hope is to get a detailed exploded drawing with part names/numbers, but I haven't found any online yet. I have a pdf of a 31 page document copyright 1955, but the Shopsmith manual is 101 pages. I hope with all those extra pages that there are some detailed drawings.

Two people send me emails on this thread. One was from allsas to my Shopsmith Forums mail box and I have replied to that.

The other message came to my home email address from someone offering to discuss the matter off-line. Unfortunately, I stupidly deleted that message

thinking that I would later access it through my forum mail box.

If that was you, please send me another mail and have a good chuckle at my expense.

Thanks

Does this help you 'find' it online?

FWIW My 1962 'manual' is 20 pages and ALL part numbers are different from today's part numbers, but the parts ARE (most of them) the same!
