Are there any preferences to year of mfg., SN's, etc on the SPT's. I have found an older SS (I'll try to get a picture) with a beltsander, bandsaw, and a jointer. I haven't seen it yet, but so far seems legit. I want two of those SPT's and will probably keep the SS as the power source.

Anyway, anything I need to look out for, or all they all pretty good and worth using?

Here is a picture ...

The SPTs have changed minimally over the last half century. Condition is the driving detail!

OK, thanks Gigi . If you would, what would you make of the SS, year, model, etc. Looks like a 500 to me, but I have already made that mistake before.

Can the older SPT's have dust collection added easily?

Thanks brother, as always, helpful info!

It IS a 500. It was made by SS Inc. Actual vintage unclear.

All that stuff appears to be in very good condition.

The band saw having a CI table is a bit of a mystery

All three can have DC.
