Like many 'sellers', thoughts of disassembly to transport never occurs.

Oh, if an ER it can be quite heavy(or difficult to take apart).

JPG I have done both at times by myself, ERs and Mark Vs, they are the easiest, the Vs!!!!!

OK, except for the way tubes, I got ALL of
a Model 10, into 2 bins. (Those blue storage
bins you can get at Wally World.)

Oh, a 10 year old boy could have carried
out ALL the parts of a Model 10. (One at
a time, though.)

If I'm not mistaken, the Mark series ShopSmith
is lighter, when broken down. (But, the headstock
on the Mark series still has a motor in it. Maybe
not.) Get a 13 year old kid.

A Mark HS with the motor is heavier then an ERs with its motor detached. Otherwise about equal. I never weighed them just lifted/carried them. Not fun, an ER with motor, awkward balance point. After that first time just easier to take the motor off and make 2 trips up the stairs!!!

I was not smart enough to put the stuff in the Milk Grates with handles, next ER

And the hits just keep coming!!!!

A "Smith Shop" 520 and bandsaw for $650. I'm not seeing floating tables. Speed dial looks turned for not being "used".
