Great job!
Exterior-wise I see the latest OEM casters from Shopsmith fitted to the old mechanisms. How much did you do to the inside of the headstock?

Just purchased (3) Greenies. Two are 1957 models and not sure what year
3rd is as am missing plate for serial number. Is there another way to date unit? They are mostly broke down and in boxes. Appears someone had planned on refurbishing. Have first one assembled and running. Trying to decide if sould repaint unit or leave as is and paint next two.
Also picked up two jigsaws in another box. Not sure how to assemble. Any ideas where I might get manual?
I will get pictures and start new thread as I get started working on.

You can still get a manual from Shopsmith for the jigsaw. Try

Wow!! Not one but two & more. It's great to see a tool over 50 years old back into the look and functionality of what it was at its inception. Great Job!! Another witness as to how good and well built the Shopsmith is. Thumbs Up!!
