You know more about them than I do since you have one. Besides yours, the only one I have seen pictures of is the one for sale on eBay Ron provided the link to. He (Karen's husband) has been trying to sell it off and on for a long time. Best guess, as we previously talked about, is that they were a prototype Metal Extension Table made when preparing to change from the wood one. One thing I noticed on both yours John and the one on eBay is the Bracket. Both have the adjustable one with oval slots for the mounting bolts. Is yours the Bracket that came with it? Below is a picture of the 4 different Table Brackets I have had. Note the 2nd one. Also they are in the order I believe that they came out based on the Serial Numbers they came with.

The 2nd one with the round mounting holes is not a common one as far as I have seen.
Hard to tell for sure from the photo, but the bracket on the one John has appears to be the type 4 (long) bracket, If so it would possibly indicate it being late in production rather than early.
You were posting at the same time as I was. No, my bracket is the 3rd one, 7" long.

I purchased a 10er #81734 from the original owner yesterday. I'm trying to upload photos of it, but am havin' issues. The tubes on this one seem thick and the extension table is aluminum.
I don't have a standard saw blade arbor for it. Any suggestions?

Nice looking machine with a speed changer. Those are worth $150 by themselves. It should clean up very nicely. Search the forums, lots of pictures of refurbished Model 10's.
This is a picture of one that I did. 4 more to go.

That's amazing; too pretty to put to work.
I'm going to pick up belts for the speed changer tomorrow.
Can I use the dado arbor for one blade table saw work, or do I need a standard shorter arbor?
The one on the right is a 1/2" shaper adapter. The other is the dado saw arbor the machine came with.
There's all sorts of odds and ends I have no idea where they go or do.
I always was intrigued by these machines and I wanted a big disk sander and drum sander then the 10er popped up during a drum sander search and here we are...

Congratulations, and welcome aboard.
At that time there wasn't a dedicated saw arbor, there was just the 5/8" universal arbor. (and a 1/2" universal arbor)
The universal arbor came with three spacers, two thin and one thick, only two of which would be used at a time, (one thin and one thick for a saw blade, two thin for dado blades or thicker accessories.)

Sweet. That's what I have. Thank you very much.
Now I'm looking at bowl turning videos. I was curious about the face plates.
I had no intention of turning bowls....
