I have parts available for anyone restoring an old 500 machine, including:
Headstock with new belt (updated to use 3-wire power) (missing screws) Serial Number trace says made in 1954 - ran well before I upgraded to Power Pro headstock.
Extension Table (no legs)
Main Table and Carriage
Rip Fence
Holder for Tool Rest
A few miscellaneous pieces

I need to clean out the garage, and would prefer to see these go to good use. $125, or best offer.
Photos available.

Let me know where you are located. I am interested.

I'm in McKinney.

I came across your post on CL this morning haha.

I've got a '59 Mark V that I'm going to be restoring this fall, will the parts from the '54 work on the '59?

To the best of my knowledge, yes.

The main changes that occurred to the Mark 5 between 1954 and 1959 was in the Headstock. The Headstock casting changed from the "A" to the "B" headstock and some changes/additions were made to the Idler Shaft Mounting. The Drive Sleeve was changed to a "clutched" version. Both had the Gilmer Drive.
