Olden Times
Found these pictures from early 1990, back when I owned a 1954 Mark 5 that I had restored, new bearings, a new sheave and new paint and my 1981 Mark 5. Plus all the attachments.Much slimmer then and sporting a mustache.

Re: Olden Times
Very nice SPT racks!
Still store the jointer 'up there'?
I could have just said 'nice rack'.

Re: Olden Times
That was my shop in Walnut, IL I moved from there after my first wife died, that was a house we built together and after she was gone there were too many happy memories there. So when I re married I moved and moved all "racks" and equipment to my second wife and I's home.Still have the wall rack, but not the joiner, bought a free standing 6" x 36".also sold the Band-saw, sometimes miss . But have an older Delta which does a very nice job of replacing the SS Band-saw.JPG wrote:Very nice SPT racks!

Re: Olden Times
The '81 looks very proud to be sporting PowerPro innards. And both you and the greenie look much happier than you did in earlier pics!

Re: Olden Times
Other then the Power Pro, I think the Greenies were the best made SS other then the ERs but a whole different machine. After the Greenies even they uped the HP I never had a power problem with the 3/4HP Greenie on the BS or Jointer. My nephew has a 54 greenie and I put on it a Menards SS Clone 6" jointer, but has a 4 blade cutter head, no problem surfacing a 5" ish Oak or Ash board. It runs smoother and quieter then a 1 1/8 grayling.

The Greatness officially starts
Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.
