I did get a reply this morning that said;
It is all original except belts I have all the Lathe stuff and the 12 disc sander and drill chuck. I have the jointer on a separate auction.

New Greenie
Well folks I did it. I found a Greenie right here at home and I think she is a good one. The price was right and I feel the machine was well maintained. The previous owner had owned the machine since 1960.
I will try to post a picture.

Congrats!!
I have a '55 Greenie I rebuilt just because I wanted to know its true condition. I love it. It came with a bandsaw but little else. I paid $400 and thought it a bargain for this area (northwest Arkansas). http://www.shopsmith.net/forums/showthread.htm?t=5449
Then a week ago I was blessed to find an '89 510 for $75 (oh yeah, under a hundred!), and even though it is missing a few accessories and come with no special tools, it looks to be in really good shape. http://www.shopsmith.net/forums/showthread.htm?t=7516
I found a Magna jointer on craigslist for $50. Now if I could just get a steal on a belt sander, I'd be SOOOO happy!

If you find any duplicate accessories let me know. I might need a bit of time to regroup finances but I am definitely looking. I think a bandsaw is my next hunt/
