You might be able to date it by the serial number I can't read. But it would be pre 1954.

Your SN R67220 indicates in was built in San Francisco and was built somewhere around a 1952 / 1953. Here is a post by Nick that discusses this. That is a real nice unit. It has a speed changer which is a big plus.

Where you from bluehose? Your profile doesn't show. Welccome to the group.

Welcome to the forum. Nice original 10ER you have there and it being you fathers is a big plus. There is a lot of good information on all Shopsmith products here including your machine.

Glad to have you join.

Yes nice machine, Were did the Jig saw come from? Looks a lot like the ER jig saw but is table mounted with a pulley, Just wondering.

This saw was my Dad's and has been in just about than same spot for all of my 48 years. My dad passed away almost 4 years ago and the SS has been sitting in the basement since then. I have 3 brothers so there will have to be some discussion about you is going to get the equipment...I think that one of my brothers has already taken the sander...it is no longer in the basement.

The jig saw came from Sears...I never saw the jig saw in operation. The SS was well used over the years, but it was typically used as a table saw...I never saw the sander attached...I remember Dad using the drill press on several different occaisions.

I am located in Roswell, Georgia...just outside of Atlanta

I recognize that scrollsaw... I just sold one just like it recently. IIRC it was sold by Sears and had a name on it like Dunlop or similar.

here are a couple of closer shots of the jig saw...I did not take a close look at the opposite side of the jig saw for a name. One thing I remember about this and the belt sander...my Dad had mounted each of them on separate tables (the belt-sander was mounted on an old wood TV cabinet and the motor was mounted underneath)
