Well I just picked up my fourth and hopefully final SS today. It is a mark V serial number 211338 (1985 double bearing quill I think?). It came with all of the standard attachments along with the belt sander, jointer, scroll saw, DC3300 dust collector, biscuit jointer, cross cut sliding table, lathe specialty tool rest kit and a planer. The planer is missing a few pieces, but besides that everything is in prestine condition. I'll throw some pics up tommorow.

Good luck with that. The wife darned need killed me when I told her I was getting my fourth, it took a lot of smoozzing to get her off my back, plus a lot of "whatever you want to buy dear" from me. But it was worth it! Hopefully your price was good, mine was a 510 bare bones for $300.00

Well I went back to the house I bought the Shopsmith from to look for some missing pieces from the planer. I found them and much more!
All together I got in this sale the 1985 Shopsmith in excellent condition. A jointer, belt sander, buiscut jointer, scroll saw, DC-3000 dust collector, lathe duplicator, ringmaster, tenon jig, shopmate clamping system, bandsaw, 110 volt sharpener and many many more bits and attachments! I'd say it was a great deal!
I'm off to the garage now to build a storage rack for the SPT's to clear my work bench. Then I want to inspect, clean and lube each SPT before using them.
Does anyone else have the 110 volt sharpener? I was just curious because I do not see much about them. The planer is the crank feed, not the motor feed version, but that's fine with me.
