It's the fun new game sweeping the nation. Found these in with the various parts when I inherited the my greenie. The three arbors, are they for dados? Seem too big for that. There's a wobble dado, how do you adjust it? There's two other odd items and what is clearly a blade guard, but it's not to my Mark V is it?

Well the first three seem to be transgender so I'll name them Bobbie, Johnnie and Jackie (male or female names).

The next two are female and male; so I'll name them Marilyn and Fred.

The next one is clearly female; so her name will be Peggy Sue.

The last one (?). Mannequin? Mannequins don't have names.

Yup, what he said.

That is indeed a Shopsmith 10E/10ER sawblade guard.

Instructions for the Magna wobble dado are available at http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/791/3281.pdf

- Marilyn (item on the left) has a hole in through it so what it appears to be to me is some sort of cord feed or something. Big cord and possibly the two nubs at the bottom are tenons to locate it in some body.
- Fred (item on the right) has a knurled portion at the bottom, suggesting the top is the business end. Maybe some kind of ram for for a morse taper or something similar to that.

Pretty Peggy Sue may be missing some pieces. Definitely missing the blade which I assume is special for the dado but also some part of the body. Gotta pull her apart but I'd love to be able to use her, she's so rare and true.

Half right. Satisfy yer curiosity and 'move on.';)

That fertility thingy is likely an alignment pin. To what, I have no clue!

Second picture, item on the left - I can't tell the size but it looks to me like one of the old air compressors (?) I know they were shaped sort of like that but again, I can't tell how big the item is in that photo for scale.
