Now ain't she adorable!!!! Thanks for posting the pics. She's looks fantastic. Looks like I'll have to add one of those to my collection in 2011 (adding a Mark VII is my 2010 goal).

And in 2012? Go find the 'missing' Mark 1(there were 2 made, one is accounted for).

I have seen two but was not able to obtain one, One was sold and one wanted $300 so I passed. I have the owners manual for one I picked up in some trading for some paperwork. Just waiting to fine one the right price just to have one. Not sure how much I would use it. Might work for a sanding station and work

Sort of a cross between a 10 e/r and a mark 5/V! I gotta wonder if a mark 5/V tailstock would fit/work(I think it would). That table has got to be a PITA!

Hi guys sorry for the delay been busy. The crank on the front is the belt tensioner by raising and lowering the motor. The pulleys are set up as I bought it so I don't know if it is right or not. Too change the speed I just loosen the top pully and slide it over. The extension I built is made of 1 1/2 inch laminated particle wood. Very strong and does the job just fine. I had no idea these were that rare. She runs like a champ. It came with everything for it also. Saw table. Disc Sander 9 inch. Spur drive. Dead center etc etc. I only paid $75 for the whole thing and im into about 4 hours of tune up, paint, polish etc. So not bad I'd say

If interested here are some before pics the day I brought it home.

OK, now I am more confused...
It appears to have pivot ends on both ends????
Did it come with the main table? And saw arbor etc?
Will it tip up to drill press mode?
These are the first real good pictures I have seen of one of these and they just raise more questions.
Does it have the high speed jointer drive shaft between the motor and the upper shaft?
That caster set is probably worth about what you paid for the whole thing. I was a little surprised to see a set on a Mark II

Yes it does I will post more pics for you guys in just a few.

I actually have a buffing wheel on it right now but you'll get the idea. I also but the table on backwards for the photo but once again you get the idea.
