That's a steal, everyone around here price's used shopsmith equipment like new.
A woodworking forum for woodworking hobbyist and woodworking projects related and unrelated to the Shopsmith MARK V

Sorry for your loss, and thank you for wanting to have the Mark VII go to a good home.drjay wrote:Hello,
So this is not an offer to sell, but a request for advice. My dad recently passed away, and we have his Mark VII with lots of attachments which we need to do something with. Although I do a reasonable amount of hands-on work in my spare time, most of the carpentry is really more like rough carpentry (shed building, rough projects) rather than fine woodworking, and I don't think I have the time to do the refurbishing that the Mark VII (mid-60's vintage) would require. So we would really like this machine to go to someone who could use it, rather than to a scrap yard. My main question is: where is the best place to advertise this, or the best way to locate someone local who might be able to refurbish and use this machine? Is it all craigslist and eBay, or is there a better way to go?
Thanks in advance,
Jay
