I have had people on the phone from other parts of the country say they liked my accent---I said " What accent"?
One time I had a guy ask if I lived in the Chesapeake Bay area, and I said within 30 miles or so. He said he has learned over the years of working Tech Support,the different accents from around the country.

Till this day , I always wonder what my accent sounds like to other people:D

Listen close to the wood gear guy. A bit further nawrth, but similar!:)

I have been in so many locales through the years that my accent is a hodge podge, but seems to resemble the latest location more so(not quite eastern KY/apple at cha), but headed that direction;).

Upper mid-west, New York(etc.), Cajun territory, Texas and other regions all have distinctive 'twangs'.

We all have an accent that is discernible to folks from other locales.

I'll be back at the head of the Chesapeake Bay this Friday. So if it is still available, I will have to follow up.

The Mark V could be either a 510 or a 505 (no floating tables, tubes and telescoping legs).

If you be near Norfolk when you get there you've got yourself a big haul to st michaels. Up 13 I believe through the bridge tunnel.

He is going to be at the 'other' end of the bay!;)

I bought that one on April 30th. My 11th Shopsmith! I honestly had no desire for another Shopsmith but only a newer bandsaw. This 520 was born on 11/1999 & was screaming out my name. It was located further down Maryland in the middle of what appeared to be nowhere or it would of been picked up in a heartbeat. It seemed too good to be true.

The really odd thing about the 520 was it was posted on both Craig's List & this forum on April 5th and I was the first person to email the guy on April 29th. I don't understand that.

On this boxed Great Deal Mark V, I looked for the 4" planer & realized they meant jointer. I wonder if that is a standalone scroll saw or powered by the headstock model?

I wish whoever buys this a lot of luck. I wonder though if all the accessories are included- i.e. arbors & blades, and all the other extras such as casters, etc. The nice thing about buying used Shopsmiths is that the sellers often include at least a box or two of other accessories. That make be an opportunity to save a few dollars, but I bet you already have what you need. I remember at the demo, the casters were Mark v casters were ordered separately along with a couple of other accessory boxes.

I'd be interested to know when this Mark V was born.

As far as people buying Shopsmiths and not taking them out of the shipping containers has happened a few times I know of. The first one was the one my father purchased. Back in the 80's I was in the Air Force at the time & came home one leave. My father had all these Shopsmith boxes in the garage. So being bored, I assembled everything except the ProPlaner. He did that himself and apparently forgot the key in the upper pulley! <smile?>

In 2008, I found a tool consignment store in Delaware selling a DC-3300. When I arrived, the people told me there was a lot more Shopsmith stuff in the building next door which was also for sale. A 510 that was assembled, but had no evidence of ever making a wood chip or having any dust on it.

My Honda Civic hatchback was loaded with two 10E/ERs and didn't have much space. But I ended up getting the DC-3300 (unused with extra bags & hoses) and also a biscuit joiner with a couple bags of biscuits all for $100. I didn't have much space to sit in the car.

I just received a PowerPro upgrade I purchased through Lowe's on Memorial Day weekend. Just a couple days over 2 weeks. That was quicker than I anticipated.

I will be in North East, MD on the Chesapeake's Eastern Shore - The Land of the Pleasant Living.

Ahhh. National Bohemian country. Natty Boh, one of the worlds greatest beers. I thought you meant the mouth of the bay...anyway, you won't be too far.
PS, since I'm in VA I have to get my Natty Boh and Carling Black label "imported" from MD. Simply love those 2 beers. I need to get my hands on some Ranier and Olympia at some point. Of all the beers on a "beer tour" with my Dad (beers he drank in college) those are 2 that elude me.
