As I understand it, all Mark 5 and SPT Serial Numbers restarted at 1001 with the SS prefix when Shopsmith Inc. formed in 1973 and restarted selling them.

It was the beginning of 1980 that the extra Table Slot was discontinued.
Okay,
Thanks again for the info.
So it's a 1979.
I am starting to get cold feet.

It may be worth $200.00 for parts thou??
