That would be good Russ. After the 12th is fine with me .. need some good cleaning products, means and methods to work without scratching and scarring, etc .. and lots of learning.

Thank you Everett for your extensive documentation and restoration of manuals and information that without your curator's meticulous craft would be lost!!!!
Your documentation has helped my restoration greatly, as well as let me feel like I'm in the 1950's. If only the prices were the same!
Thanks again

And, I answered your 1950's pricing comment in a totally new post that you inspired me to create.
It was too early in the morning or (too late last night in another context) to undertake that answer. I hope you like it.
You will find it at

Hi David,
Beautiful day in Portland today wasn't it? I haven't forgot about getting together sometime next week.

Hi David,
Checking in to see how it is going. Any new pictures? We can set up a time to get together soon if you like.
I have noticed a number of people have looked at the 10ER "basket case" S/N R57376 I restored and may be interested in some details. I purchased it for $70 in January 2016. It did not have a bench and was missing some parts, Fence, jig saw pieces and others. Other parts like the Quill & Pinion were to rusted and the Quill return spring was broken and had to be replaced. I replaced the power cord and switch since original ones are generally to brittle and unsafe to use. It also has new bearings and runs like a champ. It was completed July 6, 2016 and later sold as shown in the finished photo for someone else to enjoy woodworking with it for years to come. Giving new life to these older Shopsmiths has been my goal.

Russ,
Still hoping to get together and see how you do some of the magic that you do. Sent another PM with my phone to arrange a time to get together.
Thanks,
David
