I have purchased Shopsmith's photocopy copy of the manual which is very poorly quality. Does anyone have an original manual they could scan for me?

I have a clear pdf copy but it is over 6 megs.....pm me your email and I will send it. I assume it is too big to post here.( I also have other Magna Sawsmith docs, which may have come from here.....cannot recall the sources)
======================= EDIT:
OOPS.....I put the file's title into Google, found this where you can download it yourself:

Not the correct one. "2000" is relevant.

Hi guys,
Peter, I'm sure Everett appreciates the effort, but alas, that's the wrong Sawsmith. The original Sawsmith was a radial arm saw. The Sawsmith 2000 was a table saw produced in the early 1990's.
Everett, I feel your pain. I too have been disappointed in the past with the extremely poor copy quality of some of the replacement manuals that Shopsmith sells. The Sawsmith 2000 manual is about 68 pages long. I have my original hard copy (copyright 1991). Is there something in particular that I can look up for you?

Look up how to scan it!
Everett will likely make improvements to it and make it available to all.
In the mean time he is considering getting one.

I would love to have a copy scanned to 300 dpi graphic resolution. I will take it, enhance it, then make it available free of cost to the world Shopsmith community, as I have with other manuals.
I am working (slowly) on a Mark VII manual restore, and will consult with JPG exclusively on the 3 motor diagrams and wiring (that I know of) when I get further along.
I thought the Sawsmith 2000 would be of benefit to others and I would be honored to have a copy to work with.
Go to
https://www.shopsmith.com/ss_forum/view ... 90#p185690 to see examples of some of the work I have done, including the 10E and 10ER manuals. Once you open them, there is an arrow at the top that allows you to download anything there to your machine.
UPDATE: The thread is titled: Shopsmith Large Format Drawings, Illustrations and More - follow the link My Google Drive
There is a folder titled SawSmith 2000 Table Saw that contains the three PDF files Robert Wilson sent me. They are unmodified, as I don't know that this manual needs any restoration or enhancement. It is fairly legible. I also included a JPG that shows all four(4) versions of the SawSmith 2000 they made.
email me at
everettdavis@gmail.com anything you would be kind enough to share. It can come in batches, individual pages whatever, and I will reassemble it all. If it is in color, I would respectfully request color scan if possible for those pages.
jsburger and others have contributed much to these documents through the years in much the same manner.
In these forums we strive to share our knowledge, our experience, and preserve and extend information to the worldwide Shopsmith community, at no cost.

Sorry Everett, I forgot about the tablesaw. I will inquire locally for an original manual.

Unfortunately no reply to my local advert on Kijiji for a manual.
