I approached Skip for his permission to pursue this but wasn't personally able to undertake it myself.

Obviously additional machines have been found through the years. I never heard back from Skip.

See what you think of the attached enhanced data format?

I might reconsider the project using Shopsmith Historian as a vehicle.

I would require the new format for all submissions and I would require a serial number photo of the entire badge with each submission.

Don't send anything yet. It is highly likely that some of these machines have been sold to others during the years.

My 5 are added to the list in the attached PDF.

Skip Campbells 10E - 10ER survey by Serial V1.01 modified by Everett L Davis.pdf

I like it. I hope you decide to continue this effort. It could also be included as an appendix in your upcoming book.

Woke up to wind blowing as a storm moves through the area and decided to read a bit before going back to bed.

John, I am seriously Thinking about taking the project on and I will be reaching out to some of the folks like yourself, who work restoring the 10E / 10ER family to find what else we can collect and use before I undertake it.

I have even thought of a new category for the machine disposition such as Restored, Pending Restoration, Parted Out. I for one would like to know what machines had donor cards so to speak just to know they were out there. That may be a tough one, since eBay salvage sellers likely will not contribute much unless it is a forum member.

I know some of us want to save every machine we can, but to do that, we need a vibrant and active used parts distribution network to find the tough bits and pieces.

If I do this, it will be my way or the highway for submitter.

No two way correspondence etc.

I will require a photo of the badge with legible serial number, and a single photo showing the entire machine left to right. Believe it or not, some folk try to game you and report things they don't have. I don't know why that is true, but it happens.

There will be a document explaining how to fill out a submission and where to email it. It will not be submitted in the Shopsmith Forums, and the results of the registry will be published on My Google Drive.

If they comply, their machine will show up. If not, no action will be taken due to time constraints.

Thoughts?

Second, how many more machines do we think are going to get added? Ten, fifty, a hundred or more? If the number is quite low, like 100 and spread out over time then a manual entry will work quite well, and my feelings are that might even be a stretch then I don't see this being a major task. I certainly could handle the first influx of data for say the first 6 months or maybe a bit longer then turn it over for long term maintenance if you like.

I don't have Microsoft office so it would have to be done in LibreOffice.

He said submissions will be via email. Is that not online?
