Now it is a shorty with a belt sander on one end, and disk on the other, or some horizontal boring. I will be honest, unless I had a more modern one and not a dedicated TS I would not use one for that, but for all else are a great multi machine.
I love my SS 520, and the 500 dedicated drill press is awesome. There are always some issues with any tool. I honestly thought about buying it just to restore it. But, instead I will let someone else get some great use out of it. I wouldn't be so generous if it had a lathe duplicator though. lol But that isn't a 10er piece.

With a reserve value, I doubt if the seller will take less than $1000. I will contact him to let them know that Shopsmith service is available by Dec 1 in Florida.

JPG 'knew', but fergit until he mentioned it. :o

How did that final bid at $100? I wish I was in Florida. Could have just asked what reserve was and if decent, paid that
