My son got the black parts re-plated for me on the Saw Guard and Miter Gauge.

I cleaned the plastic on the saw guard with Novus polish.
This is the miter gauge I purchased. I still have to do the one that came with the Goldie.

Everything keeps looking better and better.
Before using the Sander/Shaper Fence check to see that the wood fence boards are still straight and flat. I had on old set that had warped a little bit over the years. I ended up buying a new pair to replace them but wondered about running them, while still mounted, through the Jointer to re-flatten them. Taking off a very small fraction at a time. Something I have yet to try. I have that warped set somewhere and if I find them, I'll have to give it a try. I also thought about making a replacement set. I have a Shopsmith so why not.
The Mortising Hold Down is a nice accessory but do you have the Mortising Attachment to go with it? For the Goldie era it was painted copper too.

They seem straight, but I will have to check them for sure. Unfortunately I didn't get the Mortising Attachment. I have been watching ebay for one.

I just had the same problem getting registered in the forum. It turned out that the activation email got dumped into my spam folder.

AllenH,
Other than the color, the Mortising Attachment for the Greenie is the same. Just paint it copper after cleaning. Gray Mortising Attachments are different. Ones made for the Model 10's (1953 and before) have different size set and cap screws while those made after 1964 have the "bare" metal parts with the black protective coating. Just one of those little differences we find for the Shopsmith tools over the years.

Whelp, she is done. I got it all aligned this morning and even was able to sharpen the chisels I bought for it. I have a few videos left to edit and I still need to go through the bandsaw and 6" belt sander I purchased. But for all intents and purposes, she is ready to rock and roll.
Thanks for the help from everybody on the forum, couldn't of done it without you.
