It's as good as I was able to come up with. I had posted that sometime back and it is based on the Shopsmith Sales History document.

Below is a production estimate based on the Sales Chart. It assumes a starting S/N of 400001 which seems reasonable with what we currently know. What we don’t know is the starting and ending months of their fiscal year.

Fiscal Year Starting S/N
1963-1964 400001
1964-1965 403077
1965-1966 405895
1966-1967 408609
1967-1968 409965
1968-1969 410482
