I have never come across so much in one place all unused.

Wow! My father fell for the demo guy & ordered everything which was passed down to me. But this is how I found it & had to assemble it all for him except the Pro Planer in 1987. He did that & forgot to put a key in the pulley & never aligned it. I tried it a few months ago & wondered why the knives weren't turning! lol

Oh well. I came across a another unused Shopsmith one time in a tool consignment store. The buyer apparently past away before he could use it.
It's amazing if you keep your eyes open what you'll find. Bu then there are people who want close to the retail price for a 30 year old Shopsmith with rusty way & bench tubes and a headstock loaded with saw dust...

C'est la vie..

So, I wonder how old all of this stuff is? Seems like he is asking list price for old stuff with no warrenty? Good luck to the person that is trying to sell it all. Together as a package. I wonder what happened to the associated Main Shopsmith unit that this stuff was to be used with? They are probably asking $6000 for that in the box.

I noticed a wet-dry grinder made by Shopsmith (he sold that one separately). I didn't know Shopsmith sold those. How old is it?

Not a bad deal really. You can figure everything in the second picture is a free bonus at that price. Maybe more. The boxes are defenitely newer. I have spts in the box from 85 and the sawsmith logo is still on them!

I think this might have been mid 80's. It was one they put there logo on as several companies were selling them. I have one somewhere in the shop, didn't care much for it, under powered and not much of a guide system. Thus the reason I'm not to sure where it is as it didn't take long for me to give up on it.
