The part for the teal Scroll Saw is # 518102 is called Scroll Saw Rear Cradle and is also # 87 on it's drawing (online service parts). The parts look different in the drawings even though they are for the same purpose on the older gray and newer teal Scroll Saws. Sorry I have only had two of the older Mark Mount gray Scroll Saw (still have one), never had a teal one. Since they do the same function the teal one may work on the gray one. It will cost you the price of the part ($4.12) plus shipping to find out if you wish to try. A call to the service department may help answer that question. Good Luck

This is a diagram of the teal scroll saw parts.
It would appear that the new table does not have the curved flange that rests on the cradle but instead has a pin (66,67) that turns in a stamped steel bracket (87). A redesign that simplifies the table casting and eliminates the cradle casting. The new part would require modification of the old table to work, much easier just to make a replacement.

Note, the person who needs the part, not Tom, first posted about it back in May on the Facebook Shopsmith Owners Group. At that time I removed mine and made tracings of all the faces with dimensions and sent them to him with pictures of the part and also a sketch of how to make a simplified version from aluminum plate and wood. Maybe an hour to make. This week he posted on the Facebook group again, I think he hopes someone will make it for him so he won't have to do it himself.
