That is a truly awesome looking job! I want a 10er to rebuild so bad, but can't seem to find a good deal on one close to me.

Thanks guys. I have four more here to refurb. The plan is to keep two of the five. The first one to keep will be a display machine. By all accounts it was a demo machine. It has the SS logo on the back side of the head stock. I just need to find out how to restore the logo.
I have a 4e jointer complete (plus one with the end support without the hinge), speed changer for all, jig saw (more than one), complete MK V SPT adapter kit for the 10ER, pristine new style table raiser and all the normal parts
Argh, I can't find the picture of the table raiser.
The big deal is how to restore the logo on the back side of the "demo" machine.

I think the problem would be that it wouldn't stick to the rough cast iron very well. The original was painted on I think. I need to find a place that can cut a stencil. The original looks like it was a white circle then a stencil for the red.beeg wrote:Wood this work for ya?

We got back from Sacramento Friday. I got in the shop today and started reassembly. I waxed the tubes again and the cast iron bores. Things slide nicely and the refurbished locks work great.

Beautiful. 
Is that an early table height adjuster in the last photo?

It is a late table riser I think (1951-1952). I have the digital manual but can't find it right now. I will let you know.rpd wrote:Beautiful.

I got it on eBay and I don't think I have ever seen another one.
