I have a Goldie that I restored with the Rustoleum Hammered Finish spray paint in Gold and Copper. It was a good match for the original paints. I really like the Goldie color scheme and it warms my heart to see one restored! I'm looking forward to your progress - Alec
1960 Aniversary Model Mark 5 500 "Goldie" with most SPT's
Well guys, it seems that Shopsmith was eventually able to see the pics I posted (after I directed them to read this post) and it seems that you are correct - Here is what they had to say:
Finally after forwarding your email we were able to view the photos. ....... Your unit is a Mark V model 500, best we can tell would be early 1960's.
After checking inside, I see I have a poly-V drive, and a 1 1/8 hp motor, so all these points and your input puts this machine as made in '62 or '63.
Thanks for your input
