I am looking for pictures of the original lamp that attaches to the Greenie. Anyone have anything? Thanks in advance.

There was a lamp (rare now) for the Model 10. I have one (actually two). I don't think there was one sold specifically for the Greenie. There was one sold for the MK V long after the Greenie. I have 3 or 4 of them. If I am mistaken someone will correct me. Russ?

I thought that I saw one in the old Greenie accessory catalog. It had a special mount for the head unit.

Never had one in hand, but IIUC a mounting bracket came with it which allows easy movement from tool to tool (with additional mounting brackets).

Yes, that is the one I mentioned above. You could buy extra machine side brackets for multiple tools. As I remember that came out well beyond the Greenie days. Of course it can be used on a Greenie.

There was a Lamp shown in a 1955 catalog, for example, that was in the Mark 5 section. It was the same lamp for the Model 10's and I have one on my Model A-34 Jig Saw shown below. Sorry I don't have a better picture of it. The Jig Saws both the one for the Model 10's and the later, beginning in 1954, Model 610 Jig Saw for the Mark 5 have a mounting hole for that lamp.

The Lamp has a washer like ring end for a bolt to attach it to the tool. The end cap of the lamp fixture has the Shopsmith logo on it.

You can see the mounting hole near the top of the Arm on the Greenie Jig Saw below.

I have seen other lamps mounted on Shopsmith/Magna tools that were not made by Shopsmith/Magna. Below is a rather famous one.

If you need any additional detailed pictures, I featured a NIB example I acquired a couple of years back in this post:

Magna contracted Vimco to make these Shopsmith-branded lights for 10ERs as well as Mark 5s.

Thank you all for the great replies. This clears things up for me!
