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.

Thanks for the tip. I did find another one is Lee Summit to check on. I am not in a hurry. I have plenty of equipment right now.

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.

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!
'55 Greenie #292284 (Mar-55), '89 SS 510 #020989, Mark VII #408551 (sold 10/14/12), SS Band Saw, (SS 500 #36063 (May-79) now gone to son-in-law as of 11-11), Magna bandsaw, Magna jointer 16185 (May-54), Magna belt sander SS28712 (Dec-82), Magna jigsaw SS4397 (Dec-78), SS biscuit joiner, Zyliss (knockoff) vise, 20+ hand planes, 60s Craftsman tablesaw, CarbaTec mini-lathe, and the usual pile of tools.

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/
