Watching NCIS, and just saw the Shopsmith 10ER in a scene. Jethro saw one for sale in a pawn shop. Priced at $245. Jethro commented that is was "worth every dollar". the Episode is called "The Namesake".
I'm seeing Shopsmith more and more on TV.

He bought it. The only power tool in his shop.

I knew it would end up in his basement shop. It looked to be in good shape.

It was strange hearing Shopsmith on TV, but good to hear it.

Maybe they will show the Shopsmith in some upcoming episodes since Jethro is always working on something in his basement.

Those shows never do anything without a reason. I'm looking forward to what part that 10ER will play in the future. I doubt it was a mere cameo.
What did he say about it? "A good solid machine."?

I started to post last night but I figured with all the computer/tv reruns are not a problem. Pretty cool that someone wrote this shopsmith into the script. Must be a woodworker at heart.

Loved it when I saw it, will be interested to see if it is shown when scenes are done in Gibbs's basement:D

Don't watch the show, but I did find this picture. What is that in the background?
Bet you also didn't know the new PP came be used in crime investigation.
....and yes, I have no image editing ability.
