Something I know what they are a something have me baffled.

#1 - Saw guards missing the "L" bracket that connects the upper and lower, and the wire loop that goes on the front of the upper guard.

#2 -

#3 - extension table, shaper/drum sander fence, ?

#4 - wobble dado blade

#5 - drill guide or possibly a dowelling jig, T handle Allen keys, parts of a Maxi Clamp set, end plate for ?, shaper arbors, router chucks, grinding wheel on arbor, live,drive,dead lathe centers, face plate, saw blade stabilizers,

#6 - saw wrenches, clamp arms for a Craftsman Universal Jig http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=1426, an old type of lathe chuck, blade height setting tool for the SS planer, ???

#7 & 8 - sharpening guide.

picture of the Craftsman Universal Jig, similar to the SS Tenon Master

Thanks Ron the picture helps with the universal Jig. I had a feeling that some pieces of the Maxi clamp system but I could have been wrong.
The end plate, I’m loss on though it might go to the planer. Ok on the planer tools. I was loss on the sharpening guide.

Oh ya and that was a doweling jig it’s say so on it.

I also got another 520 floating tables and 3” wheels for the Mark 7. Still have to pick up a set of caster brackets yet for the Mark 7.

Was that a NEW PP headstock buy from SS? I bought a new PP this month and got NO MANUAL like your picture. Interesting.

That cylindrical blox thingie in de box is a 1/2" router chuck.

Yes that blox flat thingie IS a planer blade height gauge.

HANG ON TO IT!!! They do not make em like that vintage any more.

Nice haul

Most of the parts in the red area below are not part of a Maxi Clamp set but the older Universal Hold Down set.
Below is a Universal Hold Down set from the Model 10 era. It changed for the Mark 5 to set screws and cap screws using a 5/32" Allen Wrench from the 1/8" one used on the set in the picture.
As already said the item in the far left corner is a doweling jig just like one I have had for decades.

No I bought it off eBay

Does that manual have more PowerPro error codes? If yes, we are looking for an explanation of "LOW!" in another thread.

Yes it does. I think there is confusion in the other thread. The OP of that thread says the machine quits and he gets a "Low" indication. He is tying it to his "problem" with RPM fluctuations.

The Low is actually Low Voltage on the display panel. It is mentioned in the manual with most of the other error messages we have seen over the years on the forum. Every time you turn off the Power Pro with the main switch on the head stock you get a Low Voltage error. The DC power supply output capacitors maintain enough voltage after the switch is turned off to power the electronics for a few seconds. The control panel stays functional until the voltage drops below the threshold and you get the error message and then the panel goes blank.
