Interesting location for the speed changer!

LOOKS GREAT!

Put it on Craigslist 10 minutes ago, and may already have a buyer @ $750:)

I loaded up CR5010 today and drove her 30 minutes to her new home, The buyer already had 5 Shopsmiths. One of his SS had a nice 4 jaw chuck, I WANT ONE!!

He had FIVE Shopsmiths and he could not believe yours was as old as it was? What models did he have?

Is it as 'Blue' as it looks in the pix? That blue is what I remember from 50+ years ago. My 10E is crinkle gray.

Aren't ya glad ya painted the table!

A little confusion on your part here JPG. Got to admit I am a little confused myself trying to keep all of my SS separated. Perhaps you were distracted figuring Mike's project cuts. So the first one I sold was the black one (#56112) he couldnt believe how old it was. He just retired and was going to start some little projects.
The machine I sold yesterday was CR5010. He (a different guy) had 5 and he knew how clean it was. I didnt get a chance to look at which models he had although they were all either E or ER machines. He uses his machines alot and most were set up for a particular function and his garage was rather full of stuff

And the CR was a dark grey with a very slight hint of blue, but I have seen bluer.
