Okay, for the first three items... Not sure I follow...?

A live, a dead, and a drive?

The drive center is used in conjunction with either the dead or live center to hold a work piece in the lathe mode.

For small radius, Craig's list is likely your best bet.

There, pictures are your best way to describe.

Also pix here will help you get things together that belong together.

The smaller stuff can move on e-bay. Pix again.

If you want to insure selling it, do not get greedy.

BTW What's yer 20?

I always hear bad things about Craigslist, but I guess it might have to be the path taken.

I wouldn't say I'll be greedy, but I also don't want to let it go for a pittance. I have a very rough idea of valuation right now.

I'm in eastern Pennsylvania. Lehigh Valley area.

My wife used to tell me about bad things she'd heard about Craigslist. Bad news travels fast. But when it comes woodworking equipment, I not only have never had a bad experience - I almost always hit it off with the seller, and have a very enjoyable chat with them. Now mind you, I never respond to ads where the seller is semi-illiterate, has a big chip on his shoulder, or lives in a dangerous part of town. Which leaves the majority, and I always look forward to meeting them.

My experience as a seller is more limited, but equally positive.

OK, my roommate buys ans sells cars on CL. Can't STAND CL.

I've been buying Shopsmith (and other) stuff on CL, and the
next time I get burned, will be my first time.

My brother and I made a trip to Tucson a couple months ago.
He got a Pro Planer, I got a(nother) Model 10.

Well, I guess it may not be a bad option, then, if you guys are saying it's a good way to sell more complicated things like a Shopsmith.

I might still put it in the local paper just to see if I get any nibbles.
