Welcome to the "mad house".
First thing is to spend a few nights with some good reading material. THE OWNERS MANUAL" Get to know your new toy and then check it out completely and oil and wax it . Do not turn the speed control without having the shafts turning. Bad things can happen.
If you have questions come back here and ask away.

Who knows, You may end up like some us with a case of OCSD(aka, Obsessive Compulsive Shopsmith Disorder)....

You say OCSD like it's a bad thing... And who says I have a problem? My shopsmiths fix my problems. Both of em... Or are you just saying that cause you want to sell yours? If so, how much? J/k lol
Nah Beave... I wasn't implying OCSD is a bad thing... It's just that the machines can become so addictive...
I have "ZERO" interest in selling any of mine!

A good pix of the belt cover including the vent cover and any 'stickers' will be very helpful.

You did good!
That is a fairly recently produced 510 with a "C" headstock(good).
The bandsaw itself is worth half of what you paid!
