Just saw this listing:
http://houston.craigslist.org/tls/3629857070.html
Wish I was a little closer. Everything needs a lot of work, but I think the price is right. Looks like maybe a 510?

Good working order? Hate to think what 'rusty' looks like!
Looks like a Greenie base with 510 table and and carriage? and headstock.

I'm 2 miles from there. Might go take a look, but it looks like more work than I'm willing to put into it. I might be interested in the scroll saw however.

Going to take a look at it tonight. Seller says the headstock is upgraded and he didn't know it was a 510. He said he is willing to take any offer, he needs money real quick
Anybody near Houston interested in a 510? I could pick it up and hold it for you in my storage.

I'd only be interested in the belt sander (if all the parts are there and I could get it really cheap!).

Did you get a GOOD look at it? Pedigree unknown.

No better of a look than you! lol But your good look is more informed than my good look, so what do you mean? It might not be a Shopsmith sander? I've never laid eyes on a Shopsmith belt sander to have more than a very basic knowledge of it. I notice there is no table in the picture.

I could really use the floating tables, extension tubes, and telescoping legs. I have a 505 that I wanted to make into a 510 for cheap.
Let me know if you pick it up and I'll definitely buy the tables from you if the price is right

And if it is going to be picked up and parted out cheap. I may be interested in the remaining 510 components, Carriage, Table, upper and lower saw guards, etc and make mine a 505 (if the price is right)
