Old Shopsmith 10ER
I've got this old ShopSmith that was my grandfathers. It's a model 10ER, serial number 73806. I've had it kicking around for a long time and never use it. The motor needs work. Probably not much, but it used to be in a damp basement and was always giving me trouble starting it. It's in Arizona now where it's nice and dry. But I still haven't had it running in awhile. Does anyone think it is worth much? I doubt I'll ever get it going again. Maybe someone would like to come and take it.

They very in price, I do not see anything really special with yours, No speedchanger or ans of the A or B adaptors that really bring the money. I collect these and rebuild them. I try to get them to looking as good as they did when they were new and then get with someone interested in getting started in wood working and show they what they will do. I can tell you it will make one of the best drill presses you can get if you do nothing else with it.
If you are close enough I know someone will want to take it and fix it up. I am in Tuls Ok but not sure where you are.
I say keep it and make a drill press if noting else.

It wouldn't take much to get it running. That's if the motor doesn't need much help. If I had a decent stand for it that would roll I might not dislike it so. But I've dragged it around enough.
Anyone have a good solution for making a rolling stand for one? If I keep looking at pictures of reconditioned shopsmiths I might want to try it. But I don't really have time or room for it.
